Hey, i just installed installed my Tein SS yesterday. I dropped it all the way in the front, and in the back it is about a half inch higher from the lowest setting.





I have the damper set to all the way stiff in both the front and back. It still doesn't feel that stiff. i love the ride quality, but I feel like it should be rock solid with the hardest setting. i know my boy with a jetta is running coils and when his are to the hardest settings it is rock stiff.

Is this normal for the Tein SS?

Did i maybe do something wrong?

Anyway any comments or opinions would help. Thanks

P.S. Sorry for the poor pic quality. Of course from a camera phone

I also wanted to ask if you guys think i need a camber kit. THANKS

Do you have a carbon fiber trunk?

you'll need a rear camber kit.

Yes, it's normal because the damper adjustment only adjusts the bound setting and not rebound. Also, the springs are pretty soft for a coilover setup. When you go to Tein Flex, then you get that rock solid feeling at the hardest setting. It's so rock solid that the car actually bounces when you go over a speedbump.

Frshxav....! or anyone...

How do you adjust the damping thing??!!?
Because now, i dun even know what's the setting on it.
Do i turn it clockwise till it stop, as to know its the hardest setting. ?!?
Or is it that, it just wun stop and can keep turning and turning?!?!

so, how about th rear part?!?! i guess i have to get it to the mechanic to do it for me?!?

THANKS!!

turn it clockwise until it stops, that is the hardest setting.

to make it softer, turn it counter clockwise up to 16 turns. Anything beyond that might cause damage to the coilovers.

to adjust the rear, you will need to take out the bottom of the back seat, as well as the left and right side cushions in order to get to the damper adjustment.

That thing is dumped! How hard was the install?

frshxav

Not hard at all. Two friends and I did it one afternoon. You just have to be patient and take your time. Make sure everything goes in well. Thats all

I would raise it up a little, just my sorry, but it looks a little too low on stock wheels..with larger 18's or 19's, sitting right on the tire looks great, but on stockers I would keep it a couple finger gaps away...
