[quote=""GTO Assassin""]Sounds like an offer to me.

We have D2's here which of course are K-Sports in a different colour. Iv'e heard some horror stories about the D2's and K-Sports from the Nissan guys here tho, Not happy at all.

I have a 240sx in the garage right now with ksports and he hasn't complained at all. We're putting an RB25 in it.

[quote=""SeanVr4""]i think i might go with GC's.....since i already bought kybs recently....plus u can get GC's for like 2-300 bucks used with low miles[/quote]

...and what exactly are you going to do with them? Set them to one height? As in the same height as regular ole intrax springs and spend more $$?

u really do think im dumb dont u lol

intraxs are backordered until late july if not later....and they are about 250 shipped....they can drop ur car anywhere from 1.7-1.9....

gc's can go stock height and as low as 2.5 i have read.....price for a set of GC's are 250 shipped

adjustable suspension for the same price....now if the GC's were like 400 and the intrax's were like 250 hell yea id just go intrax

What did you do with the springs I already installed on your car?

I can't say exactly what the problem is here as I have only heard it thru others. I still may go the Tawain route, but I need the money first.

[quote=""Monochrome""]What did you do with the springs I already installed on your car?[/quote]

they are still on the car.....i just never liked the look of them and i have a chance to get GC's for that price and then i can turn around and sell the teins for like 130 and only be paying like another 120 to upgrade

why u want them? i thought u dont need springs

Just wanted to let everybody know that I got the Teins on my car this weekend. The struts went on Friday afternoon, and alignment was done Saturday. I spent Sunday afternoon installing the EDFC motors and adjusting the preload.

The car was REALLY bouncey Sunday morning before adjusting the springs. I think the preload is still a little bit off - probably in the front - because the car is still a little more bouncey that I would hope. A bit more fine tuning and I think I'll have it.

I took a couple of pics, but I won't be able to upload them for another day or two. I dropped the car about 1" in the front, and only .5" in the rear. I do not yet have adjustable control arms, so I figured I'd stick on the safe side.

The EDFC is pretty cool. I don't know how practicial it would be though. With my current spring tension, the least dampened setting is only a bit stiffer than the tour mode on the ECS springs. The stiffest setting is maybe a bit rougher than sport mode. Keep in mind that my two front ECS struts and strut mounts were completely fubared by the time I replaced them, so my ability to guage may be a bit skewed.

I was surpised but it seemed like there was actually less difference between these two EDFC settings than there is between sport and tour mode on ECS. As I go back to adjust the preload, I expect the Teins will both stiffen up further, and that the EDFC change will be more noticeable.

Anybody interested in pics?

Driver's Side:



Passenger's side (ignore the scratched caliper):

Pics of the car lowered. Keep in mind that I dropped the front a little bit more than an inch. The rear is about .5" lower than stock. I may drop a bit further in the future, but for now I want to get used to the suspension.

And here is a comparison of the Teins to an OEM hight car. Keep in mind, the Red car has stock 16 inch wheels, not 18"s (like on the Stealth).

Looks great! Id slam that bitch
