Tein Super Street - What Do You Know?

[Blitz_boy]

Hi guys,

Thinkin of buying a set of Tein Super Street coilovers for my r34 gt-t. Is anyone using these?

I know teins are usually rock hard but I hear the super street's are soft enough for every day use. Any opinions?

Hey mate,

I've just recent;y put some of these in my 180 and couldn't be happier. Easily compliant enough for the road, and for mild track use should also be tip top, but I'll let you know after the 11th!

I'm running the jap spec ones, not the aussie modified examples

Yeah does anyone know if the Aussie modified ones are any better?

Thanks for the feed back. I was looking at the jap spec ones, the guy at the suspension shop told me these run a 5kilo spring.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

5kg/mm is 280 lbs per inch, that >70% higher than the standard spring rate.

Most Australian lowering springs (Whiteline, Kings etc) are 20 to 30% higher rate than standard.

cheers

Don't get me wrong, they're far from being soft, but compared to the GAB's I was running before that it feels like I'm driving on clouds

I am currently running the Australian spec teins in both of my cars, r32 & evo9, and i am very happy with the results, in the evo the ride is softer than when i bought the car, but can be firmed up( i am using the in cab controller, saves trying to get in behind the bootliner to adjust, with this setup the car came second in the last round of the mt cotton hill climb championship(standard everything except an exhaust and airfilter), i think they are great value for money.

in the gtr which i also ran at the hillclimb , the car was good enough for first place (46.1). the set up for street is perfect with no harshness or lack of spring control, the car is very comfortable to drive daily! also as a note the coilovers i took out were jap teins these things were like riding on solid blocks!! , i may firm up the gtr setup as the car is being pushed fairly hard but fulcrum will be doing that for me with a slight spring rate increase and revalve.

(this car is a track day car and ran 10.87 last time at W.S.I.D)

for more info on the teins, a gentlemen by the name of graham at fulcrum in brisbane was instrumental in the valving and spring setup for the Australian spec teins with tein engineer from japan.

i hope this information is useful, but remember it is just what i found when using it on my cars.

cheers Russell

(the suspension was good enough for 56.8 on the sprint track at Q.R on semi slicks & 1:01.61 on the clubman)

Hi, I have the Super Street in my 33 with the EDFC. Very good. Ride very nice, Handling is also good. Well Worth the money spent ;-)

[Blitz_boy]

Thanks for your opinions guys.

Based on the good reviews I have made the purchase. Will now have to wait 5-7 weeks to come from Japan(to cheap to pay for air frieght)

[GTR032]

If they are anything like the Type Flex then they'd be great! Perfect in my opinion
