TEIN review
 

So what did every one think getting back in there cars and did it feel as good as having rims or better?

My felt slow and wobbly. :(

HAHA, I really enjoyed it, it feels very controlled. My only concern for my application, is that my 225 tires will rub on the wagon if I drop it. Its iffy, I can't seem to find a definate answer. Maybe I'll have three of you sit in the back and I'll drive around and see if it rubs, before I put on coils...???

I was surprised at the lack of harshness of the coil-overs. It's just about as bad as my car, and I've just got some bushings and 18"s. The nonexistant roll and dive was very nice.

Definately an option for me to consider!

I think the end links helped alot you will get way more turn in. Did you do the rear stut bar yet and if not you should I hear the rear of the wagon's are real sloppy.

No I haven't yet. I am going with all Cusco in one big package. I should have it all in about 3 weeks.

Sloppy like a...er ...never mind.. :lol:

You're right, a strut brace is essential, I do have a sway bar, but i need new endlinks too. Which ones work best with the Cusco bar? anyone know?

I know Perrin endlinks are awsome.

Yeah, I think thats the best way to go...$$$

Well I am glad every one liked them if all you guys got together I bet I could get a screamin deal. Since I am sponserd buy Vivid (getting phat deals on everything) I know I can get better deals if we were to buy in groups.

Go Perrin very very nice there produts are very nice.

Evan, could you order me perrins from vivid, and get a deal? That would be super sweet. I'll run a sticker if it helps...

And howa bout a ZeroSports Radiator Shroud?

Someone on Nasioc was having a Group buy on shrowds, I can't remember which brand, but it was a good deal...

I know. I was going to do it too, but if Evan can get a ZeroSports, that would be tight. Its normally 119.00$ :shock:

I can get what ever just let me know I will call make shure they have it in stock if not things are fast now. I talk to the right people and they know who I am now so they get my stuff takin care of fast.

Nice, I'll let you know very soon...

I think I might get one to I might get a carbon fiber one mmmm carbon fiber droooooool.

So did it feal as good as just driving on some 17- 18inch wheels?

Once you get your rims you are going to have awesome stearing response, I think right now you have so much response via the coil-overs that it almost feels like you have 17in wheels and low pro tires, I must say the rim change is a really! big difference. :shock: . Man, evan those really rock,, nice job, at least you have some people that can appreciate the time and $money$ you put into your car. AND I think I would be down for a group buy on Perrin endlinks! cause I will be getting a rear sway in a few months anyways.

Word thanks for the good response thats what I was looking for. Let me know when you want to get some end links.

Hell yeah, I loved the way you car handles, I think coils are in my future.

Anyway, Can you go ahead and order me up some perrin endlinks for my rear swaybar. I can pay you anytime. I would really appreciate it.

Matt

Do you want to wait till Tyson wants his it Might be cheaper if not I will place a small order.

I was checking out Gruppe-s and noticed there was a coil-over set specifically for the Wagon. And its only 900.00$!!! They are called the TEIN Wagon coil-overs.

Is this a good deal? Or is this for a differnet type of wagon and not the WRX? Whats GGB?

Talk to Matt... he was looking at these.

Yeah Art, GGB= WRX Wagon..

Those are the coils I was looking at, they are height adjustable, not dampening adjustable, but I've heard great things about them on the wagon.

For 900$, it seems like a sick deal. HHHmmm.....thinking of putting off wheels to get that first.

Yo Evan,

What kinda deal can you get on JIC FLT-A2's at Vivid? They list 'em at $1799. I think I like them a bit better than the FLEX's since they're double height adjustable and have progressive springs.

just my opinion but, progressive springs are kind lame. most racers of any kind use full rate springs. on a progressive rate spring you will not be able to predict what the car will do. it will always be different no matter how "used" to your car you are.

True the progressive springs are a bit "sloppier" than linear rated springs, but this car is my daily driver, and I need it to be comfortable on the long trips over the pass. A better alternative might be linear springs w/ helper springs like the Tein RA's but those damn things cost too much. :x

On my old suspension I had progressive-rate H&R springs, but now that I converted the car to coil-overs I have linear-rates in it. As long as you don't go with an extremely stiff spring rate the coil-overs should ride fine, if not better due to the typically smaller & lighter springs. I don't really agree that you can't predict the handling of a car with progressive rate springs, because I auto-xed my car with P-rates for a couple of years and I always knew exactly what it was going to do. However, he's right that almost all racers use linear-rates... P-rates are a good compromise for the street but if you're looking for the extra bit of speed in auto-x, linear rates are better just because of the quicker chassis response they provide.

Here is a Tein EDFC for sale over ebay:
