Chapel Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 I'm a BIG fan of Tein suspensions. My friend has Tein Flex with 8kg fronts and 7kg rears and EDFC in his STi and its awesome. I noticed that Tein doesnt have any suspension for the older Legacies but I was wondering if the Impreza suspension works in them? Im hoping to get Tein Flex or Tein Type HAs with EDFC for my BattleWagon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUBE555 Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 Try [url=www.boxer4racing.com]Boxer4Racing[/url], as they may have the best information on the Tein systems and older legs. It can be found for older models specifically on [url=http://home.att.net/~teaguesauto/suspension.htm]this page[/url] of theirs. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tein has a wide variety of coilovers.....so you need to check their site [url]http://www.tein.co.jp/indexe.html[/url] EA EA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axis008 Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 TEIN will be making suspension for the new Legacy. If you check out their site, you'll see that they have like two applications for the sedan and TONS for the wagon! -ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drift Monkey Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 I liek some of TEIN's setups, I just can't justify coilovers for anything more than a track car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtguy Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 Chapel, those are some prodigious spring rates. I was running Tein HAs on my '98 Leggy GT wagon, with rates of 450/375 and let me tell you, the ride absolutely sucked on Chicago's rutted, potholed roads. The handling was great when the road was smooth, but having backseaters heads hitting the headliner over bumps got a little old. :lol: Conversely, I drove a WRX wagon with some Tein Type Wagons that was quite nice. Softer spring rates, though. Coilovers are overrated as a mod, take it from a guy who's tried 'em. This goes without saying, but be careful with spring rates, damping settings, etc. It's very easy to completely screw up a car's handling, not to mention the NVH factor.

Kevin[/quote] Hi Kevin, Think its in the tuning....I used Tein HAs on my VR4 previously....do note that HAs are originally designed for track use. As such recommended settings which came with the manual is for track! Follow that and you will suffer on normal streets. On the street I retuned it myself to my likeing..well its quite accomodating as it has 22 settings (Damping) and fully height adjustable. The main springs are also interchangeable so I run softer ones when not on track. My newborn was not complaining .... even on long trips up cross country. Foy my legacy, I'll be fitting the Super Wagon as I find the Flex too expensive. (The super Wagon though for BP5 will fit BL5 (sedan) no problem). Cheers!

BoxerGT2.5 Posted August 27, 2004 Share Posted August 27, 2004 I loved the Tein S-Tech OBAMA......One Big Ass Mistake America! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agctr Posted August 27, 2004 Share Posted August 27, 2004 I dont know much about the brand really but they are certainly sponsoring a lot of cars out there to get noticed. I have also heard that they back their product fully with trained tech which has to be a good thing too. Adam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoxerGT2.5 Posted August 29, 2004 Share Posted August 29, 2004 Anyone know if Springs designed for the WRX/STI will fit our 05's??? OBAMA......One Big Ass Mistake America! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agctr Posted August 29, 2004 Share Posted August 29, 2004 Im sure that the Co would be looking at research on specing the suspension up to fit but this may be in the pipeline. Give them a call and let us know. Adam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowendfrequency Posted August 29, 2004 Share Posted August 29, 2004 I run Tein H-tech's on my celica and I love them. Does Eibach make suspension parts for subaru's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoxerGT2.5 Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 I think the big players in the sube world are Prodrive and H&R. Personally I like Tein and Espelir. :) Eibach I know makes the pro fit for the STI and WRX OBAMA......One Big Ass Mistake America! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
