DShox Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 Guys, My TEINS are playing up on the rear - so i was thinking about buying some bilsteins for the back - is it possible to mix the suspension in this way without any problems? Thanks, D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DShox Posted September 15, 2005 Author Share Posted September 15, 2005 good idea - any idea how much this sort of thing costs? according to Chris W - he doesnt rate TEINs very highly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every tuner I have ever met has a list of things they don't like. No idea on price, give TEIN a ring they are in Milton Keynes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nic Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 My old Tein NA's were shocking, teeth rattlingly sprung and under dampered, hated them. The new models are supposed to be a lot better, there are a lot of members running the Super Streets (which co-incidentally are available here at very good prices ) If they are an old Tein model, I wouldn't bother with a refurb, IMO you'd be a lot better spending a bit more on a decent replacement set (all 4) either separate springs/dampers or a good quality set of coilovers.

DShox Posted September 16, 2005 Author Share Posted September 16, 2005 actually a big C spanner might work to try and raise it - anyone know the size or is it different on all shocks? ta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyb10supra Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 Replace the whole lot with new OEM parts......the best setup IMO you have to go along way to beat the factory setup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeyb10supra Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 im sure chris uses bilstein shocks, I think its his own alignment setup that gives it the edge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DShox Posted September 16, 2005 Author Share Posted September 16, 2005 yep he was a big fan of Bilsteins - he said he threw TEINs out by the bucket load and doesnt rate them at all. I think thats true with the older ones as Nic points out - so be careful. The UK Sup has Bilsteins and they feel awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
