MRLancaster Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 I just wish I could afford coilovers, the H&R and Gr2 setup isnt low enough for me.....I may save up for some coilovers. I heard they have a lot of maintenance issues. Is that true? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheppo9 Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 I've had Tein Flex's for nearly 3 yrs, and have done absolutely nothing to them - except wind them up and down. I do not live anywhere that uses salt thou, but I'd assume that would stuff everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

505Lgt Posted April 11, 2011 Author Share Posted April 11, 2011 Do gangster coilovers deal drugs and smuggle arms? only if they are from compton those are not gangster... these are. http://racecompengineering.com/osc/product_info.php?products_id=149 ya but super expensive. for under 1.8k. these k dubs are pretty awesome.

planelazy Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 I've had Tein Basic's on my '02 Sentra SE-R and I loved them, though the car was a DD, saw a 1/4 once @ Orlando Speedway (not like it makes a difference) and never saw salt.. I had them for about a year and a half and then I sold the car when I moved to China.. and most likely I'll get the Tein Basics for my LGT and use the stock LGT top hats. My only biggest worry with cheaper coilovers that offer more like damper adjusting, camber adjusting, is the reliability of those products.. with the higher quality products like RCE and CUSCO being priced the way they are, cheaper products like BC and Stance GR+'s worry me with quality and reliability..

505Lgt Posted April 11, 2011 Author Share Posted April 11, 2011 ya me too. especially with something like coilovers. thats why im taking about 10 months to shop for exactly what i want Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_csl Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 I have one set of Tein Flex I am selling for $1400. Brand new. Just unloading some inventory. By chance are these still available for an 06 SpecB? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boosten-n-bluntin Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 KW v2 / T1's are the way to go... ive had my v2's for about 10,000 miles best mod ive done so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubaruTim Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 I just installed T1's over the weekend and am blown away at how well they drive for a DD. I'm pretty low and they still ride better than my car did with the OEM suspension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

05LGTLtd Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 I had Tein Basics on my wagon for 40k. I liked them. Good stiff sporty and way better than stock. Was quoted ~$600 for rebuild by tein. Three piston rods needed to be replaced. Just couldn't see 400-600+ every rebuild to keep them. Koni's and EE springs now. Sometimes I miss the coilovers in the curves on my road. All I need now is a hill holder and a center passing light... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boostedgrocerygetter Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 so from everything im reading here. megans are junk? wish i had the $1400 laying around i would def pick up spranks teins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubaruTim Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 I just wouldn't cheap out on coilovers unless you don't care about ride quality. I'm about .5" above the tire on RCE T1's and it still rides better than stock which is hard to believe, I was/am blown away. I didn't expect them to ride so good.

kaptainkevlar Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 IMO RCE/KW is the only way to go. I've considered getting Stance's like I had on my RS, but the price difference isn't that much worse, and they ride amazingly. I think Stance's can go lower, but I don't think I'll ever go lower than the RCE's allow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iggybdawg Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 I do. They are awesome. worth every penny. Awesome for racing? or also awesome for driving around on public roads? I autox our car, but then ride my bike to work while my wife shuttles our kids around town all week. I've been thinking of only going for konis for fear she would hate coilovers. We used to have an outback, but sold that last November. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a firm believer in "You get what you pay for" What makes you say Stance are cheap? I know of too many people who runs Stance and have nothing but good stuff to say about them. BC sure, they are cheap, I classified them in the same category as Megans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sumfoo1 Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 They make megans but they put a little more $ into materials on their own stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LegacyRN Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 My Fiance just recently got some JIC FLT-TAR coilovers for his BH wagon and had the guy from JIC switch out the rear spring from 12k to 8k cuz 12 was way to aggressive. Any how the ride on these coilovers are FIRM they will remind you always that you are on coilovers. They handle really well when it comes to taking corners and worth every penny . these would be great for anyone wanting to track their subie thats for sure.Not recommended for anyone that wants a comfy ride. =) i'll post more details on how it handles once it gets corner weighted....
