I do plan on removing them by summer though.

8 months is an awfully long time. Drop by our warehouse after hours, and I'll personally take off your Teins springs, and put your OEM springs back on. Changing springs on OEM shocks is something I've been meaning to learn how to do anyways.

I understand that you had a bad experience with Tein, but you've already made a thread about that. Is it necessary to reiterate that over and over and over in other threads for other products, and sometimes in threads that aren't even about Tein products to begin with?

below was my experience during the development with them for our car.

lets say i'll never buy a Tein or advise anyone else do get Tein. even though with some shop the built quality may not be perfect, but you get what you pay for. with Tein, you will probably get a bait and switch.

Can I get an update on these coilovers? How are they holding up?

And for some reason the "after" pictures are expired. Can you re upload?

[Kevin@RAD]

The set of coilovers have changed hands. Here's a picture of them on the current car. He's on the forums, so we'll wait for him to chime in o

They look awesome on your BRZ.
I am planning on getting these for my FRS as well.
This is the only thread for a proper review of these coilovers, which is what makes me ask - how are they holding up, and how do they handle?
I just want an opinion from 2 or more people who have tried these on their cars...

I'm looking at these coilovers as well. Specifically looking for more front clearance for my 18X9.5's in the front as they come close to my stock springs. Are these much smaller than the stock fronts?

whoa! that look sweet !

[w arghh x]

I'm interested in how these have been set up regarding the height?

I have a set of the Street Advance (same as street basis but with damper adjustment, I'm pretty sure) and have adjusted mine so that the springs are just 'captive' and they definitely have more gap than that of the pics above.

Are you guys running your coils on the lowest setting leaving the springs to 'move' as such, when the wheel is suspended? Have you noticed any issues having it set up like this?

I ask as I love the gap of the BRZ pictured above but dont want to come unstuck with non 'captive' springs...

Do you have any wheels and tires information? I am highly interested into getting these wheels! They looks so clean

You shouldn't have deleted your experience with Tein. Its a service to the community to know what can happen when working in the develpment of a product, both good or bad.

Comparing these to those ST's (KW V1's) that are on the market now.

Need more feedback. Is the blue BRZ above setup with the coils maxed out with perches still in?

Buddy of mine ran Tein springs on his Tc back in the day. didn't notice anything particularly bad about his ride quality or anything.
