    I've got jap spec super streets. Very happy with them. For the money I'm pleased. Would prefer the Bilstein's like Rob's though.

    Oops quoted 8/5 in the group buy thread but could be 7/5 by the time they were done and dusted? I know JP had to get the springs modified. Whatever they are they're as hard as you'd want to go in a road car that's for sure...

    I can't even remember what the spring rates are for my Tein Flex. Guessing 8/6, does anyone know? I'll have to check the springs next time I have a wheel off.

    I've had Tein Super Street and Flex. What's the rate of the SS? Super Street were so good for road use, but didn't offer enough adjustment I was after. The Flex are a lot firmer & a lot of passengers complain about it haha.

    Flex may be harsher due to pillow ball top too rather than retaining rubber tops...

    I've asked to confirm if they do actually tune it for Australian roads.

    Anti 14.7 x 14.7 = 44.1

    what does this even mean

    Probably softer spring/valve rates.

    Exactly. Softer springs and re-valved to match.

    You can actually tell the "AUS-spec" fulcrum Teins apart as they feature a Q (for Queensland) in the part number.

    Confirm that's for a set of four for Z32, and that it's not the fixed height "basic" range. That price seems about $800 too cheap for SS

    Yeah, last time I asked a Fulcrum dealer about them they wanted $2200 :eek:

    I've emailed them so awaiting reply.

    The street advance line had prices cut as Tein wanted to cut margins to increase demand.

    If you can get the retuned Super Street (or equivalent) for $1080 there really is no contest.
