Installed my Teins yesterday - Honda Prelude Forum

Scalifludesi · 03-25-2004, 11:45 PM

Brendon came over and helped me install it

It's my best $900 that I spent so far. It's WAY better than my KYB AGX and Skunk2 coilovers. Install pics can be found at the bottom of the page.

Yeeeeah, boyeee! I'm glad you like them--told you you would, haha. Just let them settle, like we talked about, and adjust from there.

Nice choice,
J

Too bad we couldn't get the fronts in as fast as we did the rears.

Make sure you adjust DOWN from the stiffest. Turn full stiff, and click back to get to your setting.

why do you have to do it that way?

Scalifludesi · 03-26-2004, 11:31 AM

yea I set my front and rears 8 and 12 clicks away from the stiffest setting respectively. Perfect for daily driving

What's a good setting for spirited/canyon run driving?

check out the general forum. I made a little review and compared my old setup with the new one.

DOHCVTEC190 · 03-26-2004, 04:29 PM

How about some pix of what your new car looks like dropped?

MidNiteMysT · 03-26-2004, 04:31 PM

how much did you drop it?

Scalifludesi · 03-26-2004, 04:35 PM

not sure how much but somewhere around 1.5 inches all around. I'll take pics tommorrow morning (I'm @ work right now and won't be home till 7PM).

SLICK96 · 03-26-2004, 07:22 PM

Fix your axle yet, Justin?

rybred · 03-26-2004, 08:39 PM

1.5" is perfect drop with these!

the tein flex doesnt have that problem because of its full length adjustability. thats why i was considering getting those instead.
