Coils or Eibach

[alphapig]

I usually wouldn't question that but the difference in ride is so severe it's basically objective.

Although the roads in CA are extremely bad.

^this. i honestly can't go any lower without getting screwed over by all the potholes and bumps around my university. perhaps that's why i don't notice the difference.

its such a diff ride coils are bumpy as hell if you have a daily driver the coils arent the best then. Also im slammed look at my sig for the before picture. I lost the splitter in the snow and i just hit a racoon and now its totally done.......look below lost the splitter first thats not even in the picture at all

[fenderpicks]

Oh really...
I'm a daily driver that's for sure
So coils r not good for daily driving?

Incorrect, cheap coilovers give bad reputation. Nuff said. Tein all the way.

[fenderpicks]

Teins dont make coils for 2.5 same goes for springs

That's a correct distinction

i thought you said that the BC racing ones were better for daily and tein is for more performance

I am currently in the works with BC Racing in revising their coilovers.

No, you have it the other way around. Tein is suited for daily driving.

[mmkeller]

When I get settled in Dallas, Tein is what I'm getting, finally!!!!!

[DReed86]

Does anyone have Tein coils other than loop???

Initial buyers get the shaft

[fenderpicks]

Btw I will be getting the gt concept rear bumper as well...
Will that affect anything?

Yes, there are other people than just me.

[nogears909]

anybody know if tein will ever come out with coils for the 2.5?

[nogears909]

Also to Loop, what kind of revisions are you currently helping BC Racing with?

[jahn surf irie]

There was a thread somewhere on here that said they will be out sometime this year for the 2.5

So tempting to get but the practical side of me insists on keeping everything in warranty for now.

[jahn surf irie]

Tein just told me they're doing testing in the next few months for the 2.5 coilovers and springs and a product should hopefully be out later this year

[lavon_andy]

I'll save for tein coils as well then, gives me something to save for lol

Ohh, that's good news.

Price tag still somewhere in $1500 range?

[jahn surf irie]

I would assume so for the super streets at least, the basics for the 3.5 retail for something like $1130 but I usually see stores selling them for at 5-10% less.

[RicerX]

The only difference between the basics and the SS coils is the SS coils have adjustable dampening, which means you can adjust the harshness (or softness) of the ride.

Only downside is if you don't like the way the basics ride, you're stuck with it. You have some room to play around with the SSs. It's really up to you if that is worth the extra $400.

I'm still trying to figure all that out myself. Not sure which ones I want to go for.

[jahn surf irie]

^^ Xenon about summed it up, with the SS coils you can also adjust the ride height.

I would personally just spend the extra $$ for the SS coils, both are designed for daily driving, the SS are pitched for occasional track..

personally i always regret cheaping out on car/tech products.. have to park next to a new g37 coupe every day

[nogears909]

i too would spend the extra $$$ on the SS coils, id be kicking myself everyday if the basics were too harsh and i couldnt adjust them

[Loop]

Also to Loop, what kind of revisions are you currently helping BC Racing with?

New rear shock cartridges with different valving.

New rear shock cartridges with different valving.

So do you think after these revisions they will be up to par against the tein or will they even be better ?
