Tein Super Street Coilovers, Thrust washer replacement? Options

[martinmr2]

Hey,


I picked up a set of these coilovers. I noticed one front thrust washer has a little play in it. I have not installed them yet but wondering if it would cause issues . Would like to replace it or repair if possible.


Has anyone had this issue on their setup before?

I believe it could have been damaged by not being seated properly between the top mount and the plate for the spring. My setup is using the stock top mounts.



Thanks,


Martin

So this weekend i installed the coilovers. I starter with the passenger rear. When i put the wheel on i noticed the tire was rubbing the bottom side of the spring and the side of the perch for the spring to sit on. My rear rims are 17x8.5 +33 235/45/17. I put on a 3 or 4mm spacer and it clears now.


The fronts were are pleasant surprise!! I took apart the kyb gr2 / eibach setup that i had on there. Just below the top plate was the exact same bearing setup that my coilovers came with. I used that to replace the one questionable one from my teins .

Car sits nice now and ride is not bad at all. Very happy with how it turned out. I will post some pics in my user profile..



Cheers,


Martin
