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.

    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
    • Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
