TEIN drop specs

Can anyone tell me what the specs are for a TEIN set-up for the '99 G20t (how low is it capable of dropping a P11--I assume the ride height is adjustable)? Also, does anyone have a ballpark price for the set-up? Does anyone know of a quality set-up capable of dropping a P11 roughly 2"? Thanks!

The TEINs are $975 from me. It drops the car about 1-1.75inches i believe and the dampening is also adjustable..16way actually!
Let me know if you are interested. several members on this forum already got the last shippment of the TEINs from me and they should all be getting it within a few days. Oh, shipping is included.

OK I finally went and looked it up instead of guessing...

The 3 height settings are...

35MM = 1.378"
45MM = 1.772"
50MM = 1.969"

:)

cool, thanks!! hey J, u should put the info boogie provided int he FAQ section:)

1.9, isn't that the same drop as having the intrax's springs? anyone with teins have it set as 1.9? now you get the drop and the ride :)

Actually Intrax claims 1.75"

I have my Tein's on the second to last setting (45MM) which is 1.772".


I can tell the car is lower than when I had the Intrax, even though its so close on paper, that I shouldnt be able to.


I think the Intrax dont really lower it 1.75", I think its a little less...

Do you have a picture of the ride with the drop? I would love to see it.

Thanks for the info. I too would like to see a pic of a '99+ dropped w/TEINS. I've seen Jason's, but I don't think he has it dropped to the full extent (I may be wrong). Also, if I go with the TEIN set-up, I would not want to order it. I would want to find a shop in the Seattle area who would order and install for me. My main problem is, I can't find a shop in the Seattle area who carries TEIN or knows anything about it. I'm probably just not looking hard enough...

Just do it yourself!:D I'm hoping to get some Teins as soon as I can gather enough money and I'll be installing it myself.

I only have pics of it at the lowest setting. I don't think I posted any pics of it after I raised it a bit.

If you dont want to install it yourself, just order them from Digital Racer and bring them to any shop to install them. It doesnt even have to be an autosport place, any place that can replace shocks is fine.

The Tein's arent complicated like coilovers. (Not that coilovers are that complicated anyway) ;)

Thanks for the info. Regardless of the ease of installation, I think I'll have a shop do it. I'd rather have a warranty behind the install than be screwed when I get done and have like three nuts left over...I will seriously consider the TEIN set-up as opposed to Intrax and new Koni's...

Just curious..

Why a 1.7" drop and not a 1.9" drop? Does the 1.9" drop make the G not run smoothly or is it because of possible tire rubbing? I got my TEIN's last night and I will drop it to 1.7" as well. Or do you drop it to 1.9" during the Summer and 1.7" during Fall? :)

Not sure who you're talking to, but...the difference between the looks of the 1.7 and 1.9 drop is very subtle. And it give you that extra .2" of suspension travel the you'll so badly need. :D

lucky bastard! :devil:

I was meaning to ask either yourself J or boogie .. I'll remember to mention names next time. :bloated:

Thx for the infooo.

Taxes are brutal here in Canada, but I'm a happy bastard :).

As Jason said, you'll barely notice the difference, but performance-wise it'll make a big difference.

If you set it on 1.9" drop you'll have practically zero suspension travel.

Alright..thx.

So when I have it dropped to 1.7", what type of setting should the dampening be on.. stock or.... ?

Not positive, but I believe mine are set to 8 or 9 clicks backwards from full hard.

Ok.

I just drove my car today with the setup and struts/swaybar and man is there a big difference. The ride is so much smoother compared to my stock suspension. My front was shocked on the stock setup, so that could be why the ride was horrible before. The setup is so good, i'm cutting corners like cheese :flash: :flash:
