They messed up my order also, I dont know if they are stuipid or what. i thought i was the only one. I recently ordered the Apex'i Dunk Exhaust System from there and I ordered for My base Prelude. Ya they sent me the SH exhaust, so 1 month later its still in the mail on its way from cali to florida..supposed to be here Friday hope so...I have home phone number so if any one else gets their order messed up PM me.

wow, if they can do $1010 on the HA, the SS would be lower then?!

Ok so let me get this right. A good combo to go with is:

1. Ground Control Coilovers
2. Koni Yellow Springs
3. Spoon Front Strut Tower Brace
4. Spoon Rear Upper Strut Tower Brace
5. Front and Back Neuspeed sway bars

If anyone disagrees please let me know.....so far this is what ive been told to get as far suspension.....

are teins ( or any other real coilover set up) that much better than say.........ground control or springs + koni yellows?

i don't get it,,,,,,the price difference isn't THAT enormous, but the differences are what?

also, i thought tanabe sustec was the best coilovers?

I apologize that you feel that way, ludecrs01. I remember your order. I tried everything I could to work out the problem, but it was out of my hands. It was AEM's fault. AEM tries to fix the items that are broken instead of just scraping them. You just happened to receive a bad intake from AEM. The box was unopened when it was sent to you, it was the way it was when it came from AEM.

It isn't often that I have unhappy customers. I'm sure you can vouch for us when I say we did everything we could to make your order right and keep you happy.

No Teins aren't THAT much better. But they are better and are only a little bit more expensive nowadays. Plus the components of Teins are designed to work together for the specific application.

And I guess the SS's would be cheaper, but not that much cheaper. Hell maybe even the same price.....

what advantages are there in a true coilover system vs sleeve + shock combo? the components are the same aren't they?

Ruchmate · 02-14-2002, 01:08 AM

I would say what I said before in that they are made to work together. They have the same components in that they both include shocks and springs.

So are the Tanabe's the best? if so who hoo!

Ruchmate · 02-14-2002, 01:55 AM

I dunno about Tanabe, I've always been suspect of them after hearing their loud ass exhausts....

ice1cube · 02-14-2002, 02:52 PM

hhahhaa yes. loud ass exhausts is right....

but yes, i read from somewhere that tanabe sustec is supposedly one of the best suspension set ups on the market
