What do you guys think, I'm very unknowledgeable when it comes to suspension. car is not a DD and I plan on replacing with aftermarket sway bars and new bushing all around in the future. My car is 86.5 NA Canadian(LHD) I got 17" TSW's. I want some failry aggressive suspension for track/street. auction ends in like 25minutes:cry: i cant find anything of this exact product on the Tein site. What do you all figure.

The dual rate springs will suck on an a70.

Could you elaborate? I have no clue. a70?? i thought my car/body was a
ma70??

Wow, Teins on e-bay that are not knockoffs.


A70 is the body code, the M is the engine code hence why the JDM ones are jza70's.

i understand makes sense. do you know why ij says there no good with the a70's then?? are you being sarcastic and saying they are knockoffs??

EDIT:There is also a MA70L right, whats the L for

Our cars use a double a arm suspension that already has a good deal of rate change and when you run progressive springs like shown in the ad it just blows through the lighter spring at the slightest bump.

i see, so your saying lots of travel then WHAM travel almost stops?

could you offset that by setting the dampeners to there strongest setting, but i guess thats only masking the fact and would wear out the dampeners faster?

No not at all, those are in fact real Teins, I can tell by the springs.

The lettering on the coil goes with the coil not around it, there was an article on Teins site but they updated the site since then.


Found it, http://www.tein.com/counterfeit/index.html they also had problems with the other series's being counterfeited.
