hey guys,

i just put new TEIN coil over adjustable suspension yesterday, with new controls arms, castor rods and bushes. i gotta say i am very impressed with the improvement on the handling, cornering, and just general ride of it now. it feels alot sturdier and smoother and lowered it abit which gives it a nice look. wondering if anyone else has TEIN adjustables or has had experience with them? also what level do u have your damper??

I have the Fulcrum/Tein super street coilovers, like you I really liked the difference they made to the cars handling and ride.

Mine are on 4 clicks away from the hardest setting.

It really depends on the model of coilover you have installed and the other suspension mods as to the optimum damper setting. Also whether you have maintained the spring rates that the coilovers were issued with or whether you are running softer springs.

Ultimately it will depend on what you like, and what sort of roads you are driving on and the type of driving.
