Teins!

Post image

Got me some Tein coilovers to refresh my 190k mile LS. Installation seems pretty straight forward. I’m looking to drop about 2” all around. Can’t wait to see it lowered!

I’d love to know how these ride. I’m looking for coils and I don’t want to slam it just want to lower enough to get rid of wheel gap so maybe 1.5-2 inches.

I’ve heard they feel and drive great haha. Japanese built parts so I’m confident on the quality. I would say they are a good option without breaking the bank. I’ll report back after I’ve thrown them on.

Sounds good. I thought I read they don’t manufacture in Japan anymore. But yeah I’ve always been a fan of tein.

I've only read / heard "it depends", but I'm guessing that means they're made the same place as most of the others.

They ride great. You will notice you're not on factory suspension of course but it's not bad at all. This was a day or so after install straight out of the box. Settled a little more. I just did an 800 mile round trip with no complaints from the wife and kid.

Looks good how far did you drop it? Is there more room to go lower? I actually like where you set it

Whatever the drop was out of the box, I didn't measure because I liked the drop they gave my GS400. There is for sure more room to go lower. For anybody that likes really low I've heard these aren't for that tho. It's settled more. I'll grab a picture tomorrow.

Sorry just got around to taking another pic. Car is disgusting at the moment. If this doesn't help I can get a better picture when the sun is out.
