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...

    • The rain is the best time to push to the edge of the grip limit. Water lubrication reduces the consumption of rubber without reducing the fun. I take pleasure in driving around the outside of numpties in Audis, WRXs, BRZs, etc, because they get all worried in the wet. They warm up faster than the engine oil does.
    • When they're dead cold, and in the wet, they're not very fun. RE003 are alright, they do harden very quickly and turn into literally $50 Pace tyres.
    • Yeah, I thought that Reedy's video was quite good because he compared old and new (as in, well used and quite new) AD09s, with what is generally considered to be the fast Yokohama in this category (ie, sporty road/track tyres) and a tyre that people might be able to use to extend the comparo out into the space of more expensive European tyres, being the Cup 2. No-one would ever agree that the Cup 2 is a poor tyre - many would suggest that it is close to the very top of the category. And, for them all to come out so close to each other, and for the cheaper tyre in the test to do so well against the others, in some cases being even faster, shows that (good, non-linglong) tyres are reaching a plateau in terms of how good they can get, and they're all sitting on that same plateau. Anyway, on the AD08R, AD09, RS4 that I've had on the car in recent years, I've never had a problem in the cold and wet. SA gets down to 0-10°C in winter. Not so often, but it was only 4°C when I got in the car this morning. Once the tyres are warm (ie, after about 2km), you can start to lay into them. I've never aquaplaned or suffered serious off-corner understeer or anything like that in the wet, that I would not have expected to happen with a more normal tyre. I had some RE003s, and they were shit in the dry, shit in the wet, shit everywhere. I would rate the RS4 and AD0x as being more trustworthy in the wet, once the rubber is warm. Bridgestone should be ashamed of the RE003.
    • This is why I gave the disclaimer about how I drive in the wet which I feel is pretty important. I have heard people think RS4's are horrible in the rain, but I have this feeling they must be driving (or attempting to drive) anywhere close to the grip limit. I legitimately drive at the speed limit/below speed the limit 100% of the time in the rain. More than happy to just commute along at 50kmh behind a train of cars in 5th gear etc. I do agree with you with regards to the temp and the 'quality' of the tyre Dose. Most UHP tyres aren't even up to temperature on the road anyway, even when going mad initial D canyon carving. It would be interesting to see a not-up-to-temp UHP tyre compared against a mere... normal...HP tyre at these temperatures. I don't think you're (or me in this case) is actually picking up grip with an RS4/AD09 on the road relative to something like a RE003 because the RS4/AD09 is not up to temp and the RE003 is closer to it's optimal operating window.
    • Either the bearing has been installed backwards OR the gearbox input shaft bearing is loosey goosey.   When in doubt, just put in a Samsonas in.
