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

    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
    • Does the scanner do all the CUs in the car, or only the ECU?
    • @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man
    • Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
    • Correct. Um. I dunno. I haven't cared enough about the way that the NA cars work to know for sure. But..... The 33/34 turbo manual cars have an electronic speed sensor in the gearbox that outputs a +/- (ie, sawtooth AC) voltage signal. That is connected to the speedo. The speedo then outputs a 0-5v square wave (ie, PWM) signal that the ECU (and any other CU on the bus) sees. The speed sensor is NOT directly connected to the ECU. So here's the problem. Your new ECU expects to see the PWM signal, but must somehow be getting a direct signal from the diff speed sensor. Which would suggest that the wiring of the NA car is not the same as the turbo cars. I think you will need to spend some time with (hopefully the wiring diagram for the car) and a multimeter to see what is connected to what. Then, presuming I am correct**, you would then want to separate the ECU speed signal input from the rest of the car's wiring, and probably either buy a speed signal converter, or build one using an arduino (or similar). That would take in the speed sensor signal and output a scaled (and suitably rearranged) signal for the ECU. ** We shouldn't presume that I am correct here, because there might be something else crazy going on. I don't think you could convert the speedo to be fed from the gearbox sensor, because the pulse rate from that sensor is probably different to the diff sensor and then the speedo would read wrongly. And this also wouldn't fix the ECU's problem either, because the ECU doesn't want to see the gearbox signal direct either (assuming that they are all on the same wiring, for some odd NA related reason, see above caveat!) Does this help? Probably not. Can you make it work? Almost certainly. With the above work. You should buy a handheld oscilloscope from Aliexpress so that you can view these signals directly. Connect up the probes and drive the car. Show photos of the screen when drving at known speeds and connected to different places, and we'll see what we can learn about it.
