Talking I Need Opinions

i have some tien coilovers that were givin to me when i bought my car. Right now its riding on some eibach sportlines. Which in everyones opinion are better. I havent put the tiens in yet, so i dont know what theyre like..... When i figure out which ones are better im going to sell the other set. Theyre both full sets for a 96 200sx se-r.... which when i figure out which ones i wanna sell.

Re: I Need Opinions

it just depends what your looking for the teins won't drop your car as much as the sportline springs will. Depends if you just want looks keep the sportline kit if you want the whole set up I'd go with tein and get AGX adjustable shocks to go with them what kind of tein springs are they the SS

Re: I Need Opinions

well than 'd go with the teins. alot of people like eibachs but the sportline kit doesn't handle very well especially on our cars so go with the teins.

Re: I Need Opinions

only springs?
tein springs are garbage
dont believe all the hype about tein being the best just cause its JDMtyte yo
if they are full coilovers, the SS are the lowest level that i would seriously use. the basic damper/spring coilovers are garbage

that being said, you could get more $$ for the teins and i would say the eibachs and the teins are pretty equal in ride quality.(assuming both models are just the spring and not the damper also)

Re: I Need Opinions

yeah both tein and eibach are pretty overrated but hey you get what you pay for look if you want really good springs pick one of these
Ground Control (not actual full coilovers though)
JIC
ground control
Nismo
Motivational Suspension
B&G
HKS
Buddy Club
Truechoice
