i know this seems like a stupid question, but are there any differences between the USDM tein SS coils and the JDM tein SS coils?
i read somewhere that the JDM SS coil spring rate are around the same as the CS teins.
is this true?

Places like the Car forum can pass around bad info. I think if you want un-tainted information, try actually calling Tein for specs on their coilovers.

furthermore, if you go supra you end up at 12 and 6.5 for the US
and for the JP site they have 10 and 6


just so ya know.
(it may have been what the person was talking about)

i was the one that posted that JDM Soarer tein SS are different then USDM Supra Tein SS.... i dont think its wrong information...

Of course Soarer and Supra would have different rates.. they have different weights

kietlander

no man even usdm supra tein ss are different then jdm supra tein ss

VJ RC51

Dont forget the SC and Soarer are also two TOTALLLLYYYYYY different cars that are made in the same factory in japan. Someone explain the body holes and mounts for the SMIC tho

all the numbers i posted were based off the websites.
just for clarification.

i even emailed tein to make sure the numbers are correct. and thats what they are. and... they dont have a JZZ30 specific tein SS.

so does this really mean that the JDM SS teins have almost the same ride quality as the CS teins?
sorry, but i dont know that much about spring rate and what not
