This might be a dumb question but i just got my Tein Ha's in and want to see pics of how low they can go . I'm looking to pretty much drag frame and wanted to see if these would get the job done . So any help from the all knowing NICO gods on suspenion would be great ..

Thanks Erik ...

The basics i don't believe are dampening adjustable .But i honestly couldn't tell if there was other difference's . The pic in your sig are those on the HE's cause thats the stance i'm looking for just sitting on 17's . I really haven't got all the bugs worked out yet .

Why don't you just put them at their lowest setting? These are coils right? It doesn't take that much time at all to adjust coilovers.

They're not. They are just ride height adjustable.

I wasn't sure b/c it seems tein has all these different names for their coils, and the bottom brackets on the HAs and Basics look the same.

Anyways, teins on my car? nah, I have Part Shop Max coilovers. Im tucking tire now, so +16" wheels would be cake.

If I had A little more cash I would've opted for the KTS ultra lows.



I dont think Ive seen an s13 as low as this one. especially on 17s.

Just go ahead and dump your car as low as the HAs go, look at it, measure if you want, and adjust to w/e your little heart desires.

Pandapants your car is hot nice and low the way i want mine . When i decided to get the tieins i didnt know much about PBM coils .From what i read they are very good for the money . I was on one site and there selling for about $1k plus shipping which if i didnt allready of put the money out on these then thats the route i wouldnt of went .

But like someone said "just put them on" i think thats what i'm going to do unless i can get up some more cash and sell the teins because i think i'm going to have a lot of PBM parts on my car so why not do them all ..

Oh and i did find one pic of a car with the HA's its in the wheel fitment thread . Dont know if its as low as they go i think he was on 18's but it was still low . Either way i think i made the right decision in getting these.

Thanks Erik ...
