Super7 Turbocharged September 13, 2003 Author Share September 13, 2003 Is it Tein or Tien...??? alot of difference..... Oopps, i think it should be Tein.... no such brand as "Tien" i guess Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super7 Turbocharged September 13, 2003 Author Share September 13, 2003 (edited) My fren and I both have Tein wagons. Wagon ranges can only adjust height (but it's a pain to adjust), while there are those that are height and dampening adjustable - but usually for cars only (e.g. Civics, WRX, DC5 etc). The results - harder than stock for both of us, certainly better handling esp. cornering at speed. However, not hard like racing car or 3-tonner. Overally good balance IMHO. maybe i let you try my stock and see if it's harder/softer than the Tein wagons sus you have and also on offer now..... lunch on Monday 15 Sept??? ..... lemme know, i come see you Edited September 13, 2003 by Super7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super7 Turbocharged September 13, 2003 Author Share September 13, 2003 Uncle Foo, I think u are saying Tein NA lah...the coil spring with absorber type....only height adjustable....not really a coil over type....for this type, it's not really HARD lah, but definitely harder than stock suspension one.....u wanna try on my ride.... can do extreme hard corners.....with ease on my reliable AVS tyres yes, it should be the Tein Wagon..... hard ahh?? ......

Super7 Turbocharged September 13, 2003 Author Share September 13, 2003 uncle, in my opinion, it'll be harder than your stock you have driven mine, you think the stock not hard enuff compared with Tein's??? ..... everyone sits in my car says the stock sus is damn hard.....

Modeldriver Neutral Newbie September 14, 2003 Share September 14, 2003 can we confirm tomorrow - i.e. Monday itself ? I gotta meeting which hopefully can end around 12:00pm. Maybe I can get my fren myskyline to do the trying - he's the real expert in 'direct' handling - since he's also the one who's tried the most cars in my little group of friends (including my Stream and our friend's Estima before and after Teins).

Modeldriver Neutral Newbie September 14, 2003 Share September 14, 2003 (edited) honestly my own opinion not that hard... if you look at Tein web site (and for that matter HKS web site), you'll find those that are for wagon would be set up in the 'softer' end of things. Not sure about how stiff your stocks are though - so unable to tell if you will get better. For my Stream Teins are certainly better - the stocks are really too soft.

Vtim 3rd Gear September 14, 2003 Share September 14, 2003 I think your stock are hard but the Tein will be harder & also depend on which one you are getting. Try Modeldriver's Stream & compare lor! It's best that you go for the one with both height & damper adjustment so that it can cater to your requirements Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modeldriver Neutral Newbie September 14, 2003 Share September 14, 2003 not sure if they got the ones for dampening adjustment for SUV... for sure they don't have for my wagon. also, those with dampening adjustment cost a whole lot more Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super7 Turbocharged September 14, 2003 Author Share September 14, 2003 i was told the dampening adjustable ones for SUV will only come next year and cost at least $1600+-..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super7 Turbocharged September 14, 2003 Author Share September 14, 2003 any chance you are available this week to test drive mine and see if your teins are softer/harder than the stock sus mine??? ...... buy you lunch lah.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vtim 3rd Gear September 14, 2003 Share September 14, 2003 I'm sure there will be one for the ASStrex Turbo, since it's using the Evo7 engine, it's a matter of time Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vtim 3rd Gear September 14, 2003 Share September 14, 2003 oh! yah, now I see it. But what is $1600 to you off the topic, if everything goes smoothly, there'll be changes to my ride Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
