Hi

I have searched and read all the info on the correct coilovers for a Stagea RS Four S.

So I am aware that the rears are the fork type.

My question is does anyone know what Teins will fit this model as I have had differing opinions from both fulcrum and online searches. Im after the exact part number.

Fulcrum have told me that these will fit but Im not so sure. Basic Flex Wagon GSN78-T1SS2.

They also told me if they are not the rear fork type that they can convert them to be the rear fork..... Hmmm not so sure about that one either....

Thanks for the help.

The 260rs's ran the same suspension setup as the manuals so they might have a listing for that

Bo be honest, everyone seeems over the moon with their bc's

I'd say that the tiens will be very stiff like most Japan coilovers, the bc's are reported to ride very well on the soft settings

Spoke with Fulcrum turns out they make the Basic flex wagon in a rear fork model. In regards to firmness Tein are softer than BC's. Tein spring rate of 6kg BC's are around 8kg making Tein a much more comfy ride not sure why everyone saying there harder.

Did u end up getting tiens for ur car?

Yeah mate got them through Fulcrum they did have to modify them to be rear fork type but at no extra cost. They are a very nice ride and certainly worth every penny.

Awesome, I'll pop in and see them next week. What spring rate did u end up with mate?

Just dont believe thier bs about them being rebuildable. When u take them in for a rebuild they'll tell u its gonna cost $2k and tell u just to buy a new set.

Still there far superior than all the cheaper Chinese/Thailand Coilovers and at not niche more than a few hundred $$$

I sure know what I'd rather be driving around on.

Ben,

I have spoken to fulcrum at yerongpilly, they recon they can't help me. He told me if I could give them ur full name and date of invoice he could dig up ur invoice and find the details of what u have and what they needed to do to get them to fit. Could u pm a part number ect to help out?

Thanks mate

Mate ring Shane @ Fulcrum Capalaba on 33903900

He will know exactly what you need they did a great job even had me come back to make sure ride height settled ok and gave me another wheel alignment at no cost.

The part #GSN78-T1SS2

He had them modified to fit and no issues at all.

Soo fulcrum have quoted $2472 in total for tein superflex wagon coilovers, they would have to modify them using my oem forks off the standard struts.

I got the Basic Flex as the Super flex are to hard in my opinion for daily driving. They did not use my forks from my oem struts they made up there own. Like I said call Shane at Capalaba.

That doesn't even make sense. why they would need to modify anything?? They already do a manual type. Besides the rears are just r33 gtr bodies with an s14 top plate (and valving for stagea). All the parts would have been on the shelf. As cheap as the Chinese stuff is (and having tried nismo's, tein's, hsd's and bc's) they are just as good as the tein's for the street. But nothing compares to the nismo's !!

    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
