i honestly think tein is most reasonable when it comes to pricing of their coilovers, you don't want to know how much hks hipermax or zeal coilover cost

yes they are adjustables... and they are the very best of the best. that's a good way to spend $1100.


$1100 is kinda high.. Excelerate sells it for around $860 or $900 if i remember correctly... but not bad if it's $1100 installed. (i'm guessing not, cause you have a pic of them not installed...?)

yeah i just ordered 2 H&R spacers today, my mech said i don't need the rear

so you are using the dynalite series, mine is the 6 pistons superlite and the calipers are larger

are u using 12" or 13" rotors?

Thanks NSXNEXT.

I dont get why it is worth spending the extra $300 or so I guess. Does it do something for performance or something I guess is what I am trying to figure out.

THey are not the "best of the best," but they are a good coil-over for the money.

And he got a good deal. Most places charge 1300 for the SS-Ps.

Why get the SS-Ps though? You don't need it to run the EDFC on the TLs.

They could take wilwood parts off the shelf to make the front but the rear is going to be custom.It's something to do with the parking brake.

I just have the camber kit in the front, the rear doesnt show much wear, it was the front where it was killing my tires.
