Describe the problem and maybe we can tell you what's wrong. Did you buy the Teins used/new? If used how many miles? What's the dampening setting you have it set on and how low are you dropped.

I have a great TEIN dealer mechanic that will diagnose your problem but he's in Jersey. But many of us go to him and will attest he's the best for Honda's and Acura's.

Just post up your symptoms and we could help you troubleshoot.

Thats because the settings are low and its "springy". Tighten the tops to be harder.

Search this for adjusting "dampening control on TEIN SS". The fronts are 5 mts tops.. the back will require removal of back seats.

If you take the top screws out of the back seat, you can pull the seat enough towards you to stick your hands in there. That is if you know what you need to do, and what direction to go.

Exactly and most people won't until they atleast see it or/and do it once themselves. That's why I didn't offer that ... Hahaha.
