Would you guys kindly explain the difference between them? I'm in the market of looking for TEIN coilover.

the cheaper ones are softer (i think) and i'm pretty sure the one under 1000 you cant adjust damper, the HA is best

Sasha,

Don't you remember I owned TEIN HA before? I'd like to know more about other 3 types of coilovers. Thanks.

Start with the Tein homepage;

I did. They seem very similiar to me.

Type NR: performance dampers, 4 adjustable height settings via C-Ring type adjuster.

Type NA: 16 adjustable damper settings, 4 adjustable height settings via C-Ring type adjuster.

Type HR: It's pretty much the same thing as the HA except there's no damper adjustment settings.

NA is probably the best value, it's around 1000 bucks. HA is the best considering performance and other stuff. But the most expensive also.

If you had the HA why got rid of it

RacingAristo

that's a long story, ray.

we have time haha

RacingAristo

Oh yeah. We have tons of time here. Spring Break Rulez!

Anyhow, TEIN NA is not coilover, but more like adjustable shock/spring. Only H is the coilover. I wonder how low I can drop the car by using NA. Anyone has any info about it, really apprecaite it. Eibach Prokit (L-Tuned spring) simply doesn't drop enough of heights to eliminate the tire gap.

Couple friends of mine are offering the prices lowering than you see on GTAutosports. Very very tempting. But I should save some money for the stickers. You know what I'm saying eh, GlobeCLK?

yes, RacingAristo

I think the NA can drop you 40mm, each height setting is 10mm, with the top setting being stock height.

I was going to get the Tein NA, but then my brother had MAJOR camber problems with his E320 so I went for the L-Tuned which is Lexus certified but then ended up not having the dealer install it, therefore no warranty, hence regretting not getting the TEIN!!!

But it's okay, I think I'll love my L-Tuned more than Tein because it's still comfortable.

RacingAristo

Even with Eibach/Bilstein, my car is just as comfortable as the stock one IMO. Maybe because I've already got used to it? If TEIN NA could only drop 40mm (1.5 inches), I won't upgrade to NA. I want to eliminate the tire gap, which need to be dropped like 2 inches or so.

Is there any spring/shock or coilover out there that could drop 2 inches? Of course, except TEIN HA.

Hey, there is one kit that no one has spoke of. That is the CS system form tein. This system is the best. I had the HA but that was to rough of a ride, after all is GS. I put on the CS system and that stiffened up my car but at the same time I still had a good ride. With the CS system I can adjust how high and the ride comfort. I found about them from one of the guys at GReddy Performance. These system are some what new and they will fit the U.S. Spec. cars. Take a look at how my car sits. If any body want to see the suspension just ask and I will take some pics'.

thanks kodai for telling us your teins.

the COMFORT SPECS(CS) from tein is relatively new, and they are the most expensive of all teins based on my knowledge. just like the name, they are designed with comfort in mind.

do you mind tellin me how much did the kit cost you, and where did you purchased from?

thanks.

RacingAristo

TEIN CS costs $1890 at GTAutosports. That is a lot of money! Just for a few hundred dollars and I could get a full body kit.
