AF.com Tein suspension groupbuy. This is for any of you that want what's almost the best in lowering and performance suspension kits, but can't seem to find them for a decent price. Minimum savings to participants of this G/B is 20% off retail cose. Maximum really depends on how many people jump on this, but will be at least 30% off retail if 35 or so people join in on it and order.
Tein owns about 60% or so of the entire suspension market in Japan. That itself should speak for something. They have high quality control standards, and make very good products. I have a set of Tein SS coilovers that I've had on my Civic for almost 2 years now. I'm not any less satisfied with them than I was when I got them. I still to this day feel it's the most worth while mod that I've done to my car. They handle great, have great results performance wise when I auto-X race with them, and they still provide a comfortable ride.
What full true coilovers like Tein offer over getting say a Grond Control or Skunk2 and Koni Yellow kit, is that the springs an shock valving are specifically matched to eachother from the factory meaning they work much better toggether and one won't wear out the other prematurely. You can upgrade them with custom spring and/or shock valving rates. The design of the standard shock valving allows for up to a 2kg spring rate change either higher or lower than the standard springs that come with the kits before shock valving needs to be changed to compensate. The custom springs run $50 per spring ($200 for all 4 corners), and shock valving overhaul runs $100 per unit. I recently upgraded the springs that came with my Teins originally, to 2kg higher rates all around, and am very pleased to say the least with the results. My car sticks better when auto-X'ing, and they just make the car better to drive IMO. Best thing about them is, they didn't compremise ride comfort quality too much more than the standard springs. All Tein units (exception of the Basics) come with 16-way dampening adjustment, and in some cases 32 different adjustment settings, divided half by seperate rebound and compression settings independant from each other.
Hands down, anyone that gets in on this incredible groupbuy offer won't be dissapointed in the product they order.
