They look like the same design as the meisters to me with the threaded shock body and adjustable spring perch? :-?

@a1ex: you really cant compare those ratty old tein shocks I swapped for a couple of carbon bits and bobs which had done easy 70,000miles a a set of new anythings mate.

I have tein SS and I really like the feel of the car. its really progressive and feels planted. I also have a number of other supension mods though so its hard to tell just what the coils do.

I have not properly driven a car on any other type of shock so cant give honest comparison.

If i was buying new I would try and find a good set made out of alu or something lighter than steel. the teins are quite heavy.

Well probably another 10-20mm lower.. me and Dino both think they should go lower.. Marc had them at the lowest height and still wasn't 100% of them. but still a great kit.. i just would want lower.. im a low freak.. :lol: :lol: :lol:
