Finally got my Tein Coilovers.

The quality of this product is just outstanding even more then I enticipated. A Celica Club member couldn't stop saying he wanted to lick them :S .
Cant wait to put them on but gonna wait untill my spacers arrive so i dont need to jack up the car twice. Plus i have to figure out the total installation of the EDFC.


Here are 2 pics to keep you guys busy untill they are fitt to the car.

Just gotta love the Pillowball uppermount

ST202-FR Does it need explanation.


Hopefully installed in 9 days.

@ KAOS:
You got PM

@ the whole 6gc community.

Teins are Installed. WOOHOO!!!!!!!!!!
It took my and a fellow 6gc owner about 3 hours to do the job. Bolts were very nasty took quite some strenght to get them off. But i managed it without any bolt or tools braking. But the overall job was pretty easy to do. Even on the stock delivered settings of the Teins I again lowered by about 2-2,5cm

But on the downside. I also replaced my spark plugs for the 3s-ge. During the process of remove the sparkcap+wire (dont know english word for is) the inner core of the cap was broken and because of it the sparkplug cant ignite. Just have to wait for a new sparkplug cable, will have it in on Thuesday.

So i still cant drive the thing.

@ WannabeGT4 and rjbibeau
About the coilovers.
The guy the helped me out wanted to have my old dampers+springs. Sure i said but i was afraid it would not fit his car because he has an ST. Well to my big suprise the mounting points for the 2 big bolts, brakeline, endlink and strut points are COMPLETLY IDENTICAL!!!!!! So after replacing my dampers for teins they went straight to his car. About 2,5 hours to install. Pretty fast to replace 8 dampers just under 6 hours.

To anyone that wants to get the EDFC on there US Coilovers:
Its just a matter of the size of the motors.
Because some EDFC compatible coilovers need a 10mm size hole the will go over the spring. But there are also 12 and 14mm size holes for the motors.

For me its 14mm in the front and 12 mm in the back. So the compatible matched EDFC part number is: EDKV3-12140

Here are some photos. Did not have time to wash my hands every time to get the camera:















Here a Photo with my car finished, just had done the front swap of the ST and began on the back. Another 6gc of the Dutch Celica forum came by to see the process.
