i like the teins, people complain about the tough ride, but then again you should see my body roll in my car, you will say what body roll..

and i have a bride drivers seat, so it makes it more firm, i am used to it, i like to feel the road i guess, and you cant beat good suspension for corner speed

[GTS-t VSPEC]

Yeah, I need them too, but it all costs money, and I haven't got a money-tree:(

[Guest Boxhead]

hahahahahahaha @ ken,

paul - ive been told i cant go wrong with electric water pump and thermo fans.

[GTS-t VSPEC]

I have stiff coil-overs too, I like them:D

Ken, Thanks mate:p

[GTS-t VSPEC]

If your planning track work then yes, a good idea:D

[Guest Boxhead]

No body roll and tough ride does not equate to good handling , especially if the road is bumpy.

Teins are too stiff and the spring overpowers the shock , causing the tyre to skip.

Also you need some weight transfer to load the tyre.

just for every day driving electric water pump is good, does the normal water pump doesnt drain the engine as much.. and a thermo fan cant really hurt, and yeh, i like a bit of trackwork.

[Guest Boxhead]

teins are not too stiff, there fine, and im happy with them, if you want softer then you go softer, im happy with my teins

[Guest Boxhead]

ken - also to kill off some of the tyre skip, you make tyre pressure down a little bit from factory spec...

I have Quantum racing col-overs, used on the Trial race cars:D

Ken does alot of racing, so he knows how to setup a race car:D

[GTS-t VSPEC]

RE540's are the tyres you need for racing:D

Let down the tyres ??

wtf ??

All that does is cause loss of grip , excessive wear and usually understeer and artificially softens the ride.

i still like my teins, and im just saying that diff people prefer diff suspension set ups.. some people dont like such a harsh ride

[Guest Boxhead]

not heaps low , as in like 2psi down from factory, it just stops the skipping a bit, from what ive found on roads up here anyway..

[gtrken]

Each to there own, I have a set of Teins in the shed . Threw them there after trying all the settings and still got a jiggly ride on anything but billiard bitumen.

Have a set of HKS Hyper dampers in now and though not perfect, have some compliance and load transfer.

Nothing wrong with Teins if you like them:D

[Guest Boxhead]

ahhh fair enough, im outta my league here, i cant afford top of the range coil overs, or top of the range tyres ken, obviously youve spent money and time in research on figuring out what combos work, but till you start paying for new sets of coil overs for me, dont tell me what to run.
