TEIN SUPER RACING (SRC) - CSG Spec

CounterSpace Garage is proud to announce the release of the CSG Spec TEIN SRCs!!

3742 laps

872 million data points
2682 gigabytes of video footage
3742 gallons of gas

These are the numbers that culminate in today's announcement.

CounterSpace Garage is proud to present the CSG Spec Tein SRC for performance enthusiasts. Originating from years of testing by CounterSpace Garage at the race track, Tein has customized the SRC with specifications developed by CounterSpace Garage. Optimized for high performance driving, these coilovers are designed to maximize grip both on the street and at the track.

www.tein.com Description:
Developed from actual competition, TEIN was able to create a fully adjustable damper that can be easily tuned for any track and weather conditions. Super Racing Dampers utilize a full-length adjustment system to allow shock length and spring pre-load to be adjusted independently. Separate 16 - way adjustments for compression and rebound damping enable the user to fine tune for any situation. TEIN has incorporated both camber and caster adjustment into the front pillow ball upper mounts for strut type vehicles. External reservoirs on SA type dampers allow for added oil capacity. Spring rates and shock valving were derived from many years of motorsports support, to provide the ultimate damper. Designed and tested for by advanced and professional drivers who are seeking complete damper tuning capability. [/quote]

Outstanding. I wish my employer applied this level of R&D to our suspension products.

Any new threads started about "which coilovers should I buy?" should just be pointed here and then locked.

Just in time (I hope!) to add these (if I can figure out HOW... I assume I actually have to deal with a person!) to the growing pile of parts, get them installed and the car set up for AutoX season. Have just about everything but a garage warm enough to work in (it warmed up to 28 today, and we had plans...) Haven't driven the car in over a month (nor any car, for that matter...)

Soon.

What's the difference between these CSG TEIN SRC's and the standard TEIN SRC's which sell on your site for about $3700? Is it just the shock valving? Any difference in parts? Sorry if I missed this in the product description. Can you elaborate more on these differences please?

I am debating between getting my Ohlins R&T revalved/rebuilt or purchasing one of the TEIN SRC models instead.

They are custom valved to emphasize high performance driving. The car will better absorb surface imperfections under a cornering state, and respond with more immediacy to driver input.
