    Default Tein RA coilovers

    Just wanted to see what the opinion is out there on them. I was considering them, but have read that they are too much (too harsh) for a street set up. I know they are fully adjustable, but just wondering if this is the way to go or not. If anyone has any useful information out there- please share!

    i just ordered some for my GFs ITR, ill let you know how they feel, ill be installingthem next week.

    BTW, if you have an ITR, i know they were DISCONTINUED, i bought the LAST SET IN THE NATION from TEINUSA. Im not sure if they discontinued it JUST for the Integras, or if it was a complete discontinue on all models.

    they are replacing it in a few months with a FLEX style system with a new shock monotube design. but it is not available yet

    Thanks for that. I guess my main concern is whether or not they will be too much for my S2000 as a daily driver. I would definitely not mind the benefits of better handling and the fact that they are adjustable as far as dampening and height, but I just don't want overkill. They are part of a trade that may or may not happen anyway. The more I think about used suspension parts, the more I think this trade may not happen. The other driver could have really put it to this set up- you know what I mean?

    what do you want to do with the car? if you're not competitive in solo2 or if you don't participate in track days then you don't need the RAs... there's plenty of other coilover set ups that are not as track oriented. so in summary, look on honda-tech for more answers from other s2k owners. if you don't plan to be competitive in solo2 or do track days regularly you should just get a set of koni yellows with stock springs...

    ps the damping on more track oriented set ups are way too much for most streets and street tires.
    Please tell me if you think my car looks good. But don't tell me if you think it's ugly - only on IA
