Tein for a P10

I remember seeing in the old Tein catalog the shock and spring kit for a P10. I think it could of been discontinued , and maybe this is where the confusion is being brought up. The tein's seems a little pricey for a system which has a clip on perch and stock style spring, as opposed to a true coilover. So to compare a Tein suspension with the JIC or B&G is like comparing apples and oranges(even though they are in the same price ranges). I guess a track enthusisast would prefer a coilover system such as JIC , B&G , or GC/GAB where one could swap out different spring rates and adjust the shock valving to suite ones driving style and track requirements.

On a side note all this talk of shock/spring combinations makes me wonder about another large component of a refined suspension, Swaybars. Not a lot of discussion has gone on in this forum about this type of modification. I know with my B&G suspension, and aftermarket swaybars my car handles very well on the track and yet civilized on the street. I think if more people ran larger sway bars they could dial their shocks valving down for a more comfortable street ride and yet your G20's would corner just as well... Not to mention how a larger front sway bar helps to combat torque steer......Just some thoughts.....
