Anyone getting the TEIN coilovers or springs? - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #5588 27 posts Started by XE_Nathaniel
Good news!

Tein Japan has Tein HA Coil overs.

Contact Tein USA and see if there can get them for you.

Tein USA have the TEIN SUPER STREET Damper in development. Contact them also on this.

But the HA would be a better setup.

Do those HA coilovers fit the models without the super strut suspension, or is it just the super strut cars or the GT-Four?

And there is going to be a Tein Super Street damper available? Will it be produced for the sixth generation Celica?

New Toyota project coming soon...

LoL Im just wondering whos getting them haha.......I know the Coilovers and springs are in development. Sprigns are like 170..and I forgot the rest...lol

I think Ill go for it, as long as the back sway bar hooks up still, this has to be beter than doing koni inserts with coilover sleeves, I love the way my car handles but I think there is room for improvement, and having a system designed to work together like this seems to be the best option, Ive been waiting for this for a while good find.
I saw the TEIN S. Tech Springs for llike $100 - 110. I'm thinking of getting them but I just want to know if anyone knows how they are. People are telling me that they're like the Tenzo-R and APC of Japan (I'm takin it they say they suck). What do you guys think?

P.S.
A little plug here... I'm sellin a 96+ front and rear bumper together from a GT Hatch. Gotta sell them together cus i wanna get rid of them unless I find someone who wants one of them and another person who wants the other part at the same time. K thanks. Just let me know.
Where did you get that price for it man?

ya i'm with Jon


Tein makes some of the best suspension available.
Ok, I guess they're just haters cus they drive hondas and they don't want to see Celicas like ours rising. But anyways, yeah those people who were hatin on the TEINs could hook me up with that price and I also saw it on importhookup.com as a groupbuy. But I'm still thinkin about getting them unless they develop the coilovers sometime soon. I've been email bombin them about if they're developin coilovers for the 6th gen but they probably haven't even acknowledged my emails.

My boy has some teins coilovers on his sc300, they ride pretty good, but kinda bouncy still, due to the fact that we havent really messed wit the settings. But the drop is pretty low. I'll post pics when i get the chance.
ABout these Tein Springs, they are on e-bay right now for about 120 + shipping. Im pretty sure this is a good deal, hearing that these are good springs. Im looking for a low cost alternatice to eibachs and H&R's. Can anyone give me some more info about the exact drop they give. Ive heard 1.4 in front and .9 in the rear but i just wanted to check.
you answered ur own questions...... yes get them they are great i got mine off ebay too
i couldnt be more pleased with the ride.

and good job bringing this thread back from the dead lol
Matts on this thread hahaha he got botted last year

DEF

I will return one day.
I have the S-Techs as well. I love them. I enjoy the ride more than I did with my Ground Controls. The drop is 1.4 in the front and .9 in the rear.

I have 205/50/15 Yoko's on my car and the wheel gap is approx. 2". No more than 2" though. Now that i think of it, front might be about 1.75"-2" and the rear is 2".

I took pics of my car once i got them installed 2wks ago, but my boyfriend borrowed my digital camera today. If you need pics let me know, I'd be happy to post them. Only they'll probably be hosted off of imagestation.
i got the tein coilovers for a $1000 even through a good friend of mine that owns a tuner shop here in nyc.

didnt install them yet but will soon, i'll take some pics
I've said in an earlier thread that I didn't like my teins. I have since then started to like them alot. They don't bounce at all. In 2 weeks they settled to an nice height. I've got new kybs in the front but my back struts are factory original. When I was putting the springs on and had the rear struts off I pressed the strut cylinder down and it did not come back up( they are blown in the worst way). I stuck them back on the car with my new springs anyways,expecting the rear to bounce all over the place, But the rear doesn't bounce at all. Well worth the 110 dollars I paid for them off of ebay brand spanking new. Tein springs made me a happy camper >biggrin.gif>
Just bought mine, although I don't need new struts or shocks, i hope

i am awesome
I got the Tein SS Coilovers for $1175 + $20 Shipping. Handling on the corners are great. Not a lot of bounce. I also went with 225/40/r18 and with new sway bars. My suspension was shot and decided to do it all at once and am loving the results.
hey green, can you post some pics of your car on the SS coilovers lowered all the way down? i have 18's too and i'm wondering how it looks.

thanks
Sorry for th edelay in getting back to you. I am in the middle of a 3sgte swap and the car is on blocks in the driveway. When I get it done, I will post pics of the teins. Just to let you know, I don't have it "lowered all the way down", you can still see the tops of the tires.
