Tein suspension kit

project_slam · 09-05-2006, 02:48 AM

Do you know if the suspension set up between the Euro/audm & American spec Astina are the same?
Im looking into some Tein 'basic damper' or super street kit i saw on the US tein(tein.com) site & emailed them, they say it is designed for the American market & they can get hold of it for me but fitted at my own risk! im not so sure of them now & its not even listed on the japanese or the tein uk site!

You think it be safe for them to be fitted to non-US 323Astina's ?

Ask them for the model eg BG, BA, BJ or what year and you will be a bit closer
I mean each of our models has a different setup

Depending on where you are located (australia??) here in queensland u can get Fulcrum Suspensions to basically put them in for u, but they are really a piece of piss to put in, i dunno why you would bother. Also if u were to ring them, they can get them shipped in for u.

also there are better brand out there also, teins will cost you about $1700 and you'll get a 6kg/cm front and 5kg/cm rear spring rate. the teins DO NOT come with top ball mounts either, so no camber adjustment, not free movement in suspension.

tein is actully a good brand execpt the super street, but the price reflects that, teins other coilover are actully really good, the super street is designed for as comfortable street use as possible from a coilover unit, they are designed for ppl that wanna change the high of their car often(eg for shows, street) and handeling is a later thought

yes it fits...

you may need a different sway bar link, thats all, and someone who specialises in suspension should be able to tee this up in a jiffy...

think about the amount of eibach kits that have been imported!
