The US release will likely see slightly stiffer spring rates and damping. As soon as we get pricing a d technical specs for the US versions of the Tein Street Advance we will post them up!

o_O why are the drops and adjustment ranges different?!

If I were to go COs, I'd wait for the RCE ones. Tein's low end COs tend to be over damped and over sprung.

never heard of TIEN ever making a set for north american roads :(

SWEET! I LOVE TEIN and always wanted to put their products on one of my cars... Building the Christmas list!

Not uncommon on Tein products that fit multiple platforms...probably just due to a minor weight variation between the BRZ and 86.

Agreed, however most Street Advance applications sell for under $950. The Tein Street Advance are also designed for a different demographic than the more premium brands. If you want a premium coilover then Tein's Mono-Flex and Super Racing sets really are well built and well balanced for track use...but again, you pay for that.

Yup, always have. Back in March they put up a blog post about the reasons and variations.

Early on, last Decembers first drive journalists were told, repeatedly, that Toyota and Subaru had tuned their suspensions slightly differently. I take this as further evidence that the two cars handle very much alike, but NOT identically. And the difference is more than a sway bar swap out...

It's a safe assumption that...

is actually 5.0 kg/mm, which equates to 280 lb/in advertised spring rates.

Now we just need to figure out the stock spring rates. :popcorn:

fair enough, but why are the front drops different yet the rear adjustments are different. Unless it's a miss quote...?

I had a set of Tein SS coilovers on my Integra and they started leaking after less than 3k miles. Keep in mind the car was not slammed and streets in my area are not bad. Plus their coilovers are heavy. I would not buy again.

well just dont buy the pos ss. get flex or even better monoflex. if you buy crap, expect crap

Cool, thanks for the feedback!

It's a Tein.. I've yet to drive a set I liked.

The Subaru and Scion/Toyota have slightly different damper settings and spring rates.
