TEIN has spent quite a bit of time redeveloping their lineup. As with ALL suspension systems, quality of suspension is proportional to cost. Again, SRCs are very different from the other TEINs. How do we know? We tested most of them before. Fortunately enough, the newer "Street" line up seems to be better than their legacy although I've heard a thing or two of unhappy users of "Street Advanced". Believe me, we're simply mortals as well. We're enthusiasts doing things for enthusiasts, but our hands dove deep into the motorsport line-up and now we can't get our heads and hands out of it. It's such a different world out there compared to street suspension kits that it's understandable as to why racing organizations don't really bother with the aftermarket realm. People want Lexus ride quality, epic fabrication quality, exotic materials and coatings, and proper suspension feel during performance driving for $1k. As an engineer who designs and manufactures stuff for the aerospace industry, you can only create goals within a scope if you want to reach a target price point or a particular quality, etc. To be back on topic somewhat....a reiteration of goals for your car can be jumped to R&T for a good 1-way setup and SRC for a good 2-way setup. To get to SRC suspension level, look for JRZs, KW motorsport, or Ohlins motorsport offerings, which are all systems we can help develop if there is genuine commitments. These guys know what setups we want for our cars and this community, so if you're interested, just PM me. Last edited by CSG David; 11-11-2013 at 05:16 PM. |

While we haven't tested AST 4250 extensively, I'd venture to say it's basically JRZ and TEIN SRC territory. Meaning, it's good and considering AST builds excellent stuff, I would be optimistic for these. If you can afford this, I'm sure you can afford the revalving. Most base valving setups are usually pretty generic. Some work extremely well and some are so-so. We found that the JRZ soaked up road imperfections barely better than the TEIN SRCs, but the CSG Spec valved TEIN SRCs are better than the JRZs. How do we know? We have a car with JRZs and a car with the TEIN SRC CSG Spec valving that we drive back to back all the time. JRZ is proven and we have had extensive experience with these units on the BRZ/FRS. Let us know if you're interested. |

I'm not in the market at this moment but I definitely will be. I plan to add some coilovers sometime next year. Will definitely hit you guys up when that time comes. The SRC's you guys developed is high on my list of considerations.
