Stay away from Tein springs as they tend to sag badly over about a years time. I would opt for Swift springs. The ride is comfortable over all and they perform well with the stock struts.

I have zero experience with one however I have heard some people say controlling it via a phone app is pretty fast/easy. If I picked one up (considering it) I'd probably do it that way myself.

I wonder if @FR-Shadow has seen this? I have Tein Springs and I think they are great. But we will see as time goes on...

I dont know about that. Tein is pretty reputable. In fact you are running tein coilovers keith lol. Its not like people are buying megan springs or cutting the stockers.

You can. But I would put the money in extra batteries since the black sucks on battery life. Phone app works great.

Speaking of gopro did you guys get good shots using mine for 86fest?

Sadly, no. I made a couple newb mistakes on Friday and it was shooting photos not video, which is a real shame. And we were really short on charging cables. (I think there was one). Stupid mini USB.

Trust what I say. I have had a few sets of tein springs on vehicles. Both H and S techs. They tend to sag more as time goes on. In return causing more wear on the factory struts themselves. I run tein coilovers because of a deal I got on them. I am not saying they are horrible but there are better alternatives to Tein products. Especially for ride comfort of that's his primary concern. Surprisingly Megan coilovers don't ride very bad. I had them on a 240sx a while back and on a civic hatch. They ride better than my Tein Monoflex coils I have now.

Get the tripod mount too. It's usually under $10 but gives you a lot of flexibilty for mounting too

So the LCD screen on GoPro not worth the $80? I should buy more battery power?

Ninjin · 08-14-2013, 07:56 PM

After this past weekend, I'd say more battery. Get all the battery.

Is GoPro only compatible with windows? It says nothing about Mac

Yruyur · 08-14-2013, 08:05 PM

I get a gopro 2 instead of 3 and have amazing battery life.
