This might clarify a bit for you....

[Rusty]

Don't you remember my alignment I got a while ago? (even though mine isn't superstrut, no uneven wear etc)

as long as go to a place, which has good alignment machines and people who know how to use them, you should be ok

question between USDM Teins and JDM/Euro Teins

USDM come with 7kg and 5kg spring rates

JDM/Euro come with 4kg and 3kg spring rates.

Now are the dampening rates in the shocks different???

[BonzaiCelica]

well I called Tein today and asked them what the hardest type of springs I could run on the Super Street Dampeners and he said:

Front 9kg and Rear 7kg max. Any spring rate higher than that, you'd have to go custom dampening set up.

[purplegt4]

12 front
9 rear

if rings are seized, just heat them with a torch. my fronts are now 1.5", not 1.125". adjusted for 3sgte

Is anyone running a EDFC with their Tein coilovers, or the new EDFC active (not sure it fits this model)

That's interesting about the made to order Teins.
I know mine are EDFC compatible, it talks about how to install them in my coilover book, just wondering if people have had to remove to covers to allow room for the motors in the rear.

Also I think all the Japanese Super Street Teins, ST202 & ST205 are EDFC compatible, it's the AT200 that aren't

[Tigawoods]

The ST202's seem to be yeah you are right. The plastics may need to be cut a bit to fit the rear motors. Looks like I found a fit
Time to start saving...

called Tein USA headquarters and they quote $75-250 for rebuild on Tein Superstreet model. the HA model start at $80-260.

depends on wear and tear of coilover that's why such a huge price range for the rebuild.
