lowering springs

tein or tananbe lowering springs?

neither, eibach sportlines

i second that

umm which one out of these two??

umm save money and get the tein suspention shocks and springs trust me its worth it even if u get the basic its worth it

Just got a set of Tein coilovers for my GSR and they rock. I'm sure they would be just as nice in your 240.

I agree Teins are nice, but ive been lookin at the Tanabes. Seems they both have a set out now for ~$700!!! Im looking between the two myself. This is for coilovers though....

i say tanabe.....what about kei office???

even though i have teins lololololol teins are god for beginners to coils......so i hear from more "experienced" people.

I think when you get to that level (Tein, Kei, JIC, Tanabe, etc.) it's more of a question of budget and personnal preference then what's generally better

Kei Office rock, but do you really want to wait 2 months for them to get shipped?

I say get the teins. I have the Super Street for my 98 accord coupe and they are great. It almost rides like stock.

i think tanabe's are better but its up to you.

another alternative (what i did) would be to get cheapass megan racing springs and kyb gr2's and get tein tension rods. i have a damn stiff suspension for roughly $500.

naw man just get the tein basic coil over systems for a while get used to them then upgrade to better one's there cheap and gives u better handleing

Tein basics are still around $700, money doesn't grow on my tree. So I can't afford to get it and then ditch it for more expensive ones...just my $.02

You just said you had Teins on your Accord!!

well why upgrade later, just a waste of money, which kind would you upgrade to.

Flex, probably.

how much are they?

For under 1600$ id have to recomend a set of Adjustible Konis and Some Springs (tanabe, RS*R, Eibach, Tein, Kg/mm) because for under 1800 your not really getting anything that Racing Coilovers are intended to do - race. Tein Coils are under dampened and Rust Easily (Steel versions), JICs are absolute shit, and none really offer double adjustabilty for preload or inverted struts.

If you want coilovers, GAB, Zeal, Cusco, Aragosta, Tein(RS/RE/RA), Sard, Buddy Club(often confused with crappy body kits) all offer excellent Coils in varying levels of preformance. but for the street id say stick to shocks and springs

Now that thats out of my system what happened to saving for an SR Swap? altough nothing would be cooler than another slamed 240 :rolleyes:

i think he meant springs not coilovers. Im also curious cuz i recently purchased a set of tein springs S tech.

What's wrong with JIC?

RSR, and kyb agx

umm russell i asked about springs not your dream suspension that you know i dont have the money for..

sr is on the way beeaaach!!

yeah i know but everyone skewed off into coilovers

my suggestion of Koni Shocks and whatever springs you want... Eibachs seem to be well liked.

As for JICs i havent heard one good thing about them. ive seen a shock dyno to where the Dampening Adjustment barely changed and was completely random as in 1-5-3-7-2 from Stiff to Light, Then aparently the FLT-A2's RS version claimed to have custom (customer chosen) spring rates and valved to match the new rates. but are rarely shipped with the requested Rates. and JIC USA (Zeil?) doesnt have a shock dyno so the shocks have to be shipped back to japan to be Revalved. then last but not least ive heard that their customer service Blows.
Also Ive only seen a Few Cars with JIC coils on them all of them Factory sponsored Drifters or have hed them Revalved by RRE (Evos).

all of that is second hand from many people (one had a friend at Koni that dynoed the Shocks for him) but with everything ive heard about them i wouldnt ever buy a set.

just cut the damn springs

You just said you had Teins on your Accord!!

I do have teins on my Accord. What I meant is I don't have the money to buy the basics $700 and then later buy the SS $1000. So that would mean $1700 on suspension.

Sell your old ones when you upgrade, ebay is your best friend.

Even if I sell my old ones, I won't get the value that I spent on them in the first place...I would save more money if I just do it right the first time.
