Default Tein Q

It seems like Teins are the highest rated coilovers right now from what I hear because when I ask about coilovers thats all I hear. But I wanted to know how good is the ride? Do you guys recomend these over the Tanabe coilover system? I think I would go with the SS and skip the basic. I just want a nice ride, my H&R / AGX set-up is nice but its a little more bouncy then I thought it would but it handles awesome. Do Teins come with nice shocks?

Thanks

my friend had Teins on his 5th gen sedan...said he LOVED them. I never got to ride in it before it got stolen but he said they rode awesome.

Tein SS are very, very nice full coilovers for the money. While there's other coilovers I'd want more (Zeal B6 comes to mind), for their price point, they're worth it.

Do you remember if they were Teins or Basic?

TEIN Basic is the entry level coilover. I would recommend the Ground Control/Koni Yellow setup over those.


TEIN SS is probably the lowest I'd go on TEIN's lineup. Anything less than that is not worth getting.

DropZone coilovers are better

I havent had much experience with the Tanabe suspension products. Although I am taking their coilover setup on the track in May. If you are still deciding then...I can let you know on my feedback from the track.
