If you want a good set of coil overs go with tein, ive got them in my stagea. Awsome handling and fully ajdustable to suit anybodys needs got mine from nengun.com for 1650 deliverd

Frankly speaking i got Tein HAs on my rig and they are all right compared to blisteins. Those shocks that you mentioned they at the bottom range. Doesnt matter if they are coilovers.

How much you are looking to spend? If its about 1.5k to 2k just go for Blistein. Ypu will never regret it. They are one of the best shocks around firm but not hard. Just gor for blisteins with Eibach springs the best money can buy. Hope this helps.

which set of TEINs are you using? i looked and there's like 4 or 5 wagon suited sets?

yeh i'm looking at spending 1500 to 1700 maybe abit more on them, i just want to get best value for money really without out spending a sht load.

blistein with eibach springs will do it and its value too. Get it from Sk although it might take a while to get it but it worth the wait. I will be thinking of changing to Sk' blistein once i get back to oz. So by then by Tein Ha will be up for sale and its barely done 5k. Dont get me wrong about Tein, it is a good shocks but i prefer blistein. I have used blistein in my lancruiser 100 series and i loved it.

SK said to me when i asked him about the ISC range was that they are poo and have nothing but troubles and that alot of people on this forum tried them and hated them.

is that so????, ive bn running isc coilovers in my cefiro 4 18months now n ive had no dramas wat so ever, n i know a few ppl running them n hav had no dramas either, im sure ryan will have sumthing 2 say bout that lol

I agree on the no drama issue. but probably SK is refering to the performance issues. And comparing to blistein? [rpbably is "poo".

You get what you pay for...

I have a full set of ISC coilovers in my R31 Skyline and haven't had any issues other than one of the locking collars constantly coming loose.

Of course Jap brands are far superiour in quality but I wouldn't really want to buy non tested 2nd hand stuff.

So if you can afford it, definatly go Tein, Bilstein, etc.

I had a look at the ISC Coilovers - 12kg on the front and 10kg on the rears - that's sounds very heavy and stiff (IMO). The Tien superwagons are 4kg and 4kg. I'm no suspension expert. does it mean that the ISC will create a very stiff ride or is it the Tiens that will??

this is very interesting topic ... i want a new setup to maybe drop my car a inch all round but dont want to be bouncing violently at any kinda of bump like alot of these honda kids do ... if it wasnt for seat belts they would land in the center console

Just get the Bilstein shocks and tell the guy you still want a decent ride and they should be able to valve them accordingly and still drop it 30mm or so. If not you can look for some springs later (not Teins - I reckon mine are too hard).

na my cefiros rwd hehe

ok the higher the spring rate the stiffer it is, but the stagea is a pretty heavy car so they shouldnt b 2 bad in it, i run 10k n 8k in my car. its stiff but not crazy stiff. the teins will b a very soft spring rate,

SK said to me when i asked him about the ISC range was that they are poo and have nothing but troubles and that alot of people on this forum tried them and hated them.

Would definetly like some more information on why this person is bagging ISC considering I barely recieve any complaints in regards to ISC coilovers and our fault rate is extremely low. And to my knowledge most people on this forum are happy with how they perform...

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
