Hi im a newbie, im looking to get some coilovers and wondering what people think of the tein super streets?

My car is a daily, but im still looking for the best performance possible whilst staying within a reasonable budget. also, does anyone know how much these coils can be lowered? not looking to absolutely slam but def needs to go lower.

cheers

A couple of my mates have the super streets in their cars and as far as comfort goes they give you quite a reasonable ride...as for performance im not 100% sure how effective they are but i'd say pretty good from the couple of times ive driven their cars.

I've got them in my car and for a street driven car they are awesome. I've got the aus spec ones so the spring rate is a little softer than the jap ones but the comfort is really good and firm. Best modification I have done by far.

And yes you can lower them a lot, my rears tyres are sitting on the guard and there is probably about another 20mm of adjustment in there

Get the Jap specs...can't tell much difference between Aus and Jap, it's negligible. Jap are cheaper...

Good coilovers they handle quite well when set to firm. Street ride is decent on most roads, only on cracked or tram tracked roads will it feel uncomfortable. They will also make you notice any creaks you have in the rest of your suspension/chassis. Alas a hundred opinions have been posted around these forums, search function is your friend.

+1. All that crap about being softer than Jap might be true but its negligible for the 1k saving. The Jap spec SS are even softer than my stock v-spec suspension when they're set to 1/2 the damper setting.

Not too sure about the 1k price difference, maybe $300? Maybe you are comparing Jap ones without the pillow tops to the Aus ones with the tops and yes the spring rate difference is neglible.

Fulcrum quoted around 2.3k for them and I got them straight from Japan for 1450 delivery. And yes they have pillow top, full Super Street Kit.

I am getting mine from a local supplier for under 2k but even on nengun its just over 2k delivered. Plus you get warranties when purchased and installed locally.

Where are you getting that 1450 delivered price from?

Through a mate that import straight from Japan's distributor (all prices quote are in YEN). You're simple ditching a bigger middleman (e.g. RHD, Nengun etc, maybe paying 30-50% mark up?) and paying a smaller middleman going my way (maybe 10-20% markup?).

If you're overly concern about warranty, just get them locally. Just gotta manage your risk and if you think its not worth it, pay that extra and get them locally. Obivously I think otherwise.

hey guys, the original poster is my brother. thanks for all the input, been really helpful. however we've decided to go either greddy type s or silkroad rm8's for my bro's r33. the reason is, we think the ss wont go as low as we want, but also ive had the greddys in my previous s15 and currently got the silkroads in my s13. around 1650del for either one.

anyway for those interested in the tein ss, i got quoted 2500 from a local fulcrum supplier (umm, no!) and about 1950 from cj motors in brisbane.

im assuming Brandon you used streeter? i use him for everything too mate, cant go wrong.

Not sure how low you want to go :P I have them in my car and the car is pretty low and could go lower. The Greddy Type S are good aswell though.

Also for a R33 the Jap Spec and Aus Spec Superstreets have the same springs rates, 4kg. It's the valving which is slightly different.

Here's a thread about them.

Yea mate you cant wrong with streeter.

    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.
