hey people has anyone got tein lowered springs in there car as im think of getting some, just wanted to know if its worth spending the extra money on the teins rather than king spring.. and before people start saying get coil overs i have had them before and loved so much but have been through to many head f**ks with them getting defected.

so if anyone can tell me what the tein lowered spring are like would be great!

The suprising thing that I found was the ride height is just right. Not too low to attract attention or as high as stock. Ride is not hard either. If you want I can take a picture of the ride height. Also note to be careful of ebay imitations. There are a lot of copys going around. I am no expert on the matter, but the guy who sold me the springs ( auto shop) said the good quality springs are cold rolled ?

i must agree with everyone else i had a set of tein lowered springs in my old r34 and they were great.... lowered it and the ride height was perfect not too low not too high and cops didnt even look twice

Im installing some in my R33 this weekend (wanted coilovers but i got them brand new for a set of batty wheels) so untill i can afford coilovers, they will suffice.

Will let you know how thy go, with before/after pics.

i too have tein super streets in my r33

ride quality is awesome. sits well on the road doesnt bounce around not too harsh on big bumps. feels good through corners too. best value for money coil overs i believe.

I think hes talking about just the Tein springs on OEM shocks, not the complete coil over setup.

But goot to hear more positive comments on the Tein coilovers, as thats what im planning on getting one day.

i also have Tein super street coilovers in my car

made everything feel so much nicer

launching, corners, driving in general

im very pleased with mine

plus they have valve adjustments so you can make them soft or hard when ever you want

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn
