Were the Tein coilovers, the USA or the Japanese version?
A reason why the tein shocks felt softer would be that they are degressive valved, where as the others are linear. -------------------- |

I had the Japanese ones, but my friends have had both Japanese and US versions all low end to high end models and all were mostly crap to me only because i've tried different coilovers in my cars and Teins seem like waste of money for what you get for its price and features. I've tried brands like TRD, Intrax for springs - both were good, for coilovers ive tried megan, BC, and tein, and tein was the worst out of all of them. Ive ridden on more tein coilovers than any other brands and was disgusted the most. This post has been edited by trdproven: Aug 29, 2012 - 5:19 PM -------------------- 94 Celica GT
