Just installed mine yesterday. Currently sitting on Tein recommended specs. Also running 18x8.5 +44 CE28N with 225/40/18 Hankook Ventus V12 Evo all around. I haven't had much seat time yet but here are a few things I noticed so far: 1) Ride is smoother than on stock suspension. The car glides over the imperfections in the roads that used to unsettle it before. 2) More grip and sooner after exiting a turn. 3) Steering feel has remained very close to stock. Maybe even a bit lighter. |

I installed mine this weekend with a set of SPL LCA's. Sitting at about 35mm drop front and rear. I was able to get more camber dialed in on the front and rear. Need to get an alignment done but I'm at about -2 in the from -1 in the rear. I went what CSG Mike used at 5 clicks out.
I was on RCE Yellows and stock struts before. Wow what a difference these coiloverers have made. I haven't tried any other settings but at 5 clicks its enough to still feel the road and get good feedback yet somehow smoother as well. It Feels more responsive. Turn in feels improved but that could be the additional front camber as well. Overall, these are well beyond my expectations. |

You'll currently want to order the shock nut, spring perch bushing, and spring perch under "custom", but let them know it's for the Tein, and I'm sure they'll add it to their list of dampers

Been doing a lot of reading and researching to find the perfect coil-over set up for daily driving. Initially, I was interested in the RSR's but a lot of reviews stated something about flying off their seats at highways speeds which is very disconcerting.
Seems from the limited time people have had with these Tein's, that this might be the product for me. What are everyone's experience at highway speeds? Also, why so green? lol |

I have had these on for a little over a week and they are awesome. Hard to believe they ride better than stock with spring rates 260% and 180% stiffer than stock but they do. They are MUCH firmer than stock and bigger bumps do bounce you around. These are incredible on smooth to semi smooth roads and lean much less than stock. They also handle bumpy corners better, tires remain in contact with the road rather than skipping around like stock. Roads in my area really suck and coupled with the fact that I am an old fart, I am going to try some softer rates as the dampers will work with them. I like them set at 3 to 5 from full stiff, any softer and it gets bouncy which to me is less comfortable. I will report back once I have experimented with different rates. Keep in mind that if you go softer you won't be able to go as low as you will need longer springs. Tein and CSG have been a pleasure to deal with as well!

I've been cruising the bumpy downtown Dallas streets with 4 clicks and they are much better.
I have a track weekend in a month at Cresson MSR. I'll report back more then. |

Had mine on for almost two weeks now on the stiffest setting. driving on the highway is MUCH better than stock now. Not sure about those other people with RSR's but coming from someone that's boosted i can tell you that even at high speeds or quicker acceleration than stock, the suspension is fantastic. I was a little skeptical in buying an $800 set of coils but i'm glad I bought these. Mike has been a super helpful in answering any questions that i've had so if there's any doubts about this suspension, talk to him and trust me when i say that you'll feel much more at ease about them. I bought them and have no regrets so far. but then again i've only been on them for 2 weeks so maybe check back with me after 10K miles or so lol |
