I typed all of this down while my buddy was talking..
"The SS's are really good! The shocks are 22way ajdustable and at the highest setting it's a comfortable ride. I've taken the car to the track with them and the car hugs the road with no problem. I have them lowered to ~1.8" and that's perfect for me. The spring rates are lower than some other coilovers out on the market, but what people forget are that it's a complete
system that works together.
We did a test this summer in Ottawa.. My Accord with the TEIN SS's, and another guy's Accord with GC coilover sleeves and custom springs, rates higher than my SS's. Both of our settings were set to the max, and when ever we hit a curve or a bump on the road we noticed that HIS car would *bounce*, where as my car with the TEIN's would nicely drift over the bumps and curves. I'm happy with the results that I got.
Yeah..you have to watch it. The
www.TEIN.com site has false information. I remember seeing a disclaimer on their site saying that their information could be wrong. Use the JP (lol thats my name.. sorry back to the topic..) site as a source. for my Accord, the min drop is 1.3"
TEIN SS= great buy. Personally, I hate the GC's I've seen and heard of too many people having trouble with the GC's. Their system to raise/lower the spring is aweful (using one lug nut to loosen/tighten all). And I don't consider them to be a coilover
system...but rather a coilover sleeve..IMO, i just don't like them. "
Oh and Trev, this guy is a suspension god. He's the one I turn to when I'm in doubt...
Good luck bro!
