I read it as payed 1500, 2000 total once installed.

XR09 with your car setup up at the optimum ride height are the rear suspension arms level or just slightly above level (ie diff end higher than hub end)

I have a pair of front Tein coil-overs for sale to suit BA. I have had them in my car for about a year and a half. They made an amazing difference. Height and damper adjustable. With the dampers set a the softest setting the are so smooth and very derivable and then when you wind them up the are even more amazing. Improve the cars handling 1000%

Only selling because im selling the car and I took them out.

If anyone's interested text or call me on 0401 227 678 located in SA

@ Luke. A smidge above with the roll bar in place. So a lower than std roll center, but not below. Makes it a bit quicker from side to side and initial turn in. While keeping high speed stability in the rear.

I visited Fulcrum (distributors of Teins in Oz) and can tell you that these guys do a lot of local r&d, setup and testing.

I have an early set of Teins in my FG and I dropped the car off to them the other day. They are going to go over the car (had the suspension in for while) and they are assessing the shocks, springs, Superpro bushes and general suspension setup. I do a lot of country driving and the shocks cop a pounding on the open back roads in NSW.

I also found that the Teins in my old Skyline R32 GTR where very street compliant and great on track days.

I've been in XRs with both setups and there is no comparison. It's one thing to go low but its a totally different story to maintain ride quality and handling. The Tein Superstreet packages a a great all package.

after having the Tein "performance" coilovers I'll definately go with the Teins next time, but the "street" version with the lower spring rates. The Teins are great pieces of kit, but the performance spring rates are just a touch high for my preference.

I have the pedders extreme and have found them to be fantasic.

Great turn in, ride quality is great.

Run a evo 9 through a few sharp 2nd gear corners and into a long 3rd gear down hill sweeping corner and mine you I defiantly had the straight line on him, he had slight edge in the tight bends, the long sweeper it was very even, was getting slight understeer but very controllerable and I was on the inside.

Only gripe I have is I feel they don't know how to set the suspension.

Car was tracking badly when they first fitted them, scrubbing inners on rear.

Took it back and they have got it better but still not right.

Will take it elsewhere once I get it back on the road.

Also found it to get some bad rebound rear over bumps, caused by bump stops.

Being a expert suspension business you would think they would know it would hit the bump stops.

Removed 2 ribs off the bump stops and now a lot better.

Always wanted the tiens but with the edfc.

I'm impressed with the pedders and so are alot of my friends, the tiens would have the alot better for me to pay the extra and change.
