Near new Tein Flex, travelled around 5,000kms. Will pass any inspection. Come with EDFC Controller and solenoids (worth over $450) , 8kg/cm (Front) & 6kg/cm (Rear)

Circumstances have changed and i have sourced higher spec shocks with alloy bodies which i hope will better suit the track work my car does.

Asking $1600 for shocks, EDFC and even stickers :worship:. Located in melbourne, rather not post, but willing to courier at buyers expense.

SOLD

Cant honestly answer as they are in my living room. If someone buys my Bilsteins i have for sale then these will be going in for a month or so until my new springs/shocks etc are sorted. If someones buys these then Bilsteins will stay in the car until the new gear is arrived.

If your looking for day to day comfort and still great handling the Bilsteins are far better for the street. My theory is with normal road tyres you never have enough grip to need this high a spring rate on the street. But my car is mostly used for drving to/from the track, with the occassional long run interstate so...ride comfort was not such a concern when i grabbed the Teins

I purchased these as on the track the higher spring rates (which are the std springs for the teinss...so i hope well matched) will mean that with semi slicks on and far higher grip levels and corner speed, the car would be a little more balanced with less pitch under brakes. For a street car i cant see them being bear as good as the Bilsteins. On the track the Bilsteins would be equally as good, until you put real grippy semi slicks on the car then the Bilsteins fall over a little without re-valving for higher spring rates (well thats my 2c anyway :worship: )

Have got another set of Teins, though they are the RA. I understand that they are the top of the range Tein, only ones better are the ones with the remote reservoir. They are alloy, and the Melb workshop who i want to use has done some great things with them on other peoples cars....so will see.

    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking 
    • I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
    • Hi @Chupapy i had several leaks from coolant pipes being corroded, i also had one leak on back of the head onto transmission. For me that leak was from the turbo water line. Follow the line to the back of the head The hose and metal pipe had perished these are the best pics I took of it at the time
