2G Tein SS-P coilovers?

anyone using them on there TL? I'm wondering how the ride quality is on them. I'm also wondering if 1,400.00 shipped is a good price for them

that is way overpriced. are you trying to slam your car for looks or for the track? for looks, the consensus here is the function&form coilovers. for performace, koni yellow suspensions with h&r sport springs are win.

TEIN SS-P's are well worth the price. F2 coilovers are not the same quality as TEIN. F2 Type I's do not have damping adjustment and the Type II's are similar to the K Sports, neither of which are the same quality as TEIN. Now the F2's will work and you will be able to lower your car a decent amount but if you have the funds for the TEIN's I'd recommend getting them.

I use them and they are great, quality is amazing. I wish they went lower but I guess they designed it like that for a reason. I got them used with the EDFC motors from craigslist for $600. Lucky me.

I have Tein SS coilovers on my TL. Had them on for a year now. Cant say anything bad about them. I luv the ride quailty they give. And can be adjusted to ur suit ur driving style. And yes the $1500 for the Tein's r worth it, very good product.

STOP STOP STOP for that price make sure you get the edfc to control the damping on them if not they should run around 1200.00 through titan motorsports ask for nicki and yes tein is very worth it

I got rid of my Tein SS for K-Sport. The Teins are too soft and dont go low enough.
