crazychristopheo Posted May 24, 2009 Author Share Posted May 24, 2009 How much does it cost to rebuild a tein flex ? Does anyone have prior experience with this ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rnstein69 Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 So did it eventually work ? If so where can I find such an adjustment screw ? Also is it complicated to rebuild a coilover ? You can easily adjust the dampening on the tein flexes by hand, takes less than a minute. there is a hex type of screw on top with knurls on the side that you can turn with your fingers and feel it "click". its so easy that a cave man can do it ... they do come with the hex wrench to adjust the dampening but there is really no need for that. Anyway, I went autocrossing yesterday and she handled great!! evo's and sti's on stock suspension were all over the place, rocking like boats getting hit by huge waves. I was nice and stable, no swaying, and my car felt extremely stable as if on rails. I only had these coilovers on for about a year so they have not had to be rebuilt yet, but I guess when the time comes I may have regretted getting them at that time, but hey, I am enjoying them now and handling on my suspension setup feels excellent. All I need now is better tires Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m sprank Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 Don't know about a Ten Flex, but when I paid to have my race quads shocks rebuilt/revalved (had TCS, PEP, Axxis, and Ohlins at diff. times) it was usually $150.00 each. Of course that was a few years ago now, so prices might be a little higher today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drsnobiz Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 Whats the best source for replacing the struts? I've looked around a good bit and haven't seen much for just struts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paisan Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 I like my Konis for strut replacements. Well worth the extra cost or time in terms of the labor for them. For a non-adjustable the Bilsteins are good ones to go for. I think that's pretty much it in terms of regular struts. -mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m sprank Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 I have Tokico HTS struts (also sold as D-Spec). They are fully adjustable and are a bolt in replacement (just like the Bilsteins they use the Spec B tophats). Cost is slightly less than Bilsteins (I paid $595 delivered).

Paisan Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 That's a good alternative! -mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
