I just picked up my 2IS Japanese Spec Tein CS coilovers!!! I will provide more details later, but since I know you guys will say that this thread is worthless without pics (I know, I would be one of them ) here are some quick pics I took.... enjoy!!!

 

Here are the instructions in Japanese.... I don't understand them, but who cares??

 

Some anti-rust spray that came in the box???

 

And last, but not least, the coilovers themselves

 

sweet.. can't wait to see them installed

 

i heard from a few people that teins have a tendancy to rust.. maybe thats why? id unno..

 

Part: Comfort Sport Kit? Sounds kinda paradoxical. I'm guessing they are progressive in nature? Curious to see how the car handles and feels with these on the car. How much are you going to lower the car? Still running on the factory Wheels?

 

Very nice! ! How much did it cost you?

 

I think the model name is more of a Japanese engrish.

BTW, It looks good! I'm very JEALOUS!

Let us know how it is.

Also, let me get this straight. Japan spec = more firm, US spec = more soft? Is this correct?

I find it odd that they will make two different coilover systems for the different countries. Must be a logical reason.

 

Let us know how the ride is!

 

Any chance you could take a few measurments before you put them on? It would be handy to have some dimensions for something I'm thinking about. LIke, eyelet size (diameter and width), fully extended length, and (ideally) range of travel.

 

oh man SO LUCKY! CANT WAIT FOR MINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

COME ON SHIP FULL SPEED AHEAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

what other goodies came in the box?

 

probably because they're not aluminum anymore.

 

I don't know how much I'm going to lower it yet, but my intention is to eliminate the wheel gap when I get my 20" rims. I'm currently using the ISP 18" wheels which I plan to keep, and I should be about 1-2 weeks away from getting my 20" Auto Couture Latives and the Tanabe exhaust as well

I can't wait to have it all installed!!

 

Thanks!! Due to CL regulations, I guess I can't post the price here, but let me just say that it only cost me a little bit more than the $1,400.00 retail they will have when they make it to the US in about 6 weeks.

By the way, the guy from Tein HQ told me today that they will be getting 1 set of the American CS 2IS coilovers on the 17th of this month approx. So, if you guys are interested, talk to your Tein dealer and have them place the order ASAP. Good luck on whoever gets it
