Scott Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Ok never question does anyone know the spring rate of the HSD coilover I didn't know personally but 35 seconds on google found me the answer. 18kg/mm Front & 10kg/mm Rear spring rate http://www.google.co.uk for future reference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastcar Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 I didn't know personally but 35 seconds on google found me the answer. http://www.google.co.uk for future reference That sound very hard to me for a road set up. Is that an official website you got that from. I'm not sure but it dosent sound right to me. Do u have HSD fitted to your supra Scott?

Nic Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Just out of curiosity Jamie are you using stock top mounts or Tein ones? I've read the instructions for the Flex's and they say for some reason that they're not to be used with stock top mounts, but the Super Streets can. The Tein Flex can be bought without upper mounts and I'm fairly sure can be used with the stock upper mounts. The Tein Mono Flex are only sold including the Tein upper mounts.

Do u have HSD fitted to your supra Scott? That's coming from the official UK distributer (Driftworks). Sounds about right to me, pretty sure my Megan racing coilovers were similar. Yeah I have the HSDs fitted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwilkinson Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 I have Tein mono flex suspension on stock top mounts. Its a firm ride but offers good handling in return. I also have the EDFC which I use regularly to change the dampening levels when moving from rubbish uncomfortable b roads to the motorway.

Not a bad price for a piece of kit that's highly rated by a lot of different people. Seems expensive to me. Are driftworks not a fair bit cheaper with free delivery? I'm sure guys were negotiating around 700 inclusive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lbm Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Unfortunately I also missed out on the group buy, but I paid £732.59 delivered (from Driftworks) They felt sorry for me and gave me 5% off. I suppose they didn't really, but 5% off is better than nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Whiffin Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 I could try and see what prices I can get if you like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Also +1 for HSD, had them on my Aristo, bit heavier than a Supra but a great ride. Suppose you could spec spring rates if you asked them. Only paid 560 for them too Ive had Tein Super Streets and they were way too hard.

I'm looking for a good set of coilovers but don't want anything to hard. But something gives good road holding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But something gives good road holding. It won't matter, the spring rates of the SS are listed so low due to the fact that to get any rideheight whatsoever you need to compress the spring hence altering the pre-load (makes the ride rock hard). It is the main reason why I didn't go with SS. Previously I would have went with the Flex versions but I can't see them being any better than HSDs to be honest, you are paying for the Tein brand more than anything else IMO.

Yes but with a little bit of haggling, as per what LBM said, they can be had for around the £700 mark. Looks like Paul will be the .net distributer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
