TEIN Flex and SuperStreet Coilovers

still i mean for us in WA 1650 plus 100 shipping and if we want the edfc thats another 530 thats 2180.. or the same deal (even though the coilovers arent as stiff at the front ) 1928..

as you can se there is a small saving, im sure that your supplier could come 2 the table and match these prices no worries

 

i don't blame you, same shit different day, anyway, i would be very interested in a set of super streets, cheers

 

So just to confirm, because I got a little confused after reading ZX2NV's reply, but these Super Street's from TIEN are 100% legal for road use?? My cousin imported a 180sx, and got stung for her suspension being adjustable, so she had to buy a stock suspension setup, and couldnt use the quality suspension that she paid for...

Cheers, Andrew

 

they are legal

Hi Andrew,i may stand corrected,but this is the law as i believe ,Simon
1. coilovers are not illegal. Ride height though must be over a certain point (100mm?) around the entire car. This includes any lips.

 

Thanks Simon, I do remember something about minimum height being at least 100mm, but i wasnt sure if the "technology" behind the suspension, ie the adjustable nature was a possible issue...thanks again though. Just don't want an expensive error!

Cheers, Andrew

 

You must be able to lock the suspension from adjusting, also must have that 100mm and or a certain distance from the center of the wheel to the lip of the guard(different for each vehicle). Also the suspension must have atleast 2/3rds the rebound of what the stock suspension had. Pretty sure thats the lot, and I'm not sure that these have the rebound bit, so is there someone that knows for SURE that these are road legal?

 

Which Fulcrum are these coming from rob? Brisbane?

If so I could pick them up from the Brisbane shop..

I want the super streets thats for sure. However still unsure on EDFC and whether to go pillowball or rubber upper mounts..

Could you find out how much Fulcrum would charge for these to be installed with and without the EDFC please rob? I'm keen to know.. or would it be a straight forward job that maybe I could do?

I've got arms off egg to go on as well for the rear camber. And Pedders just told me my front upper arm bushes are stuffed so will prob get the adjustable front upper control arms off Paul as well.. Would it be better if I just get Fulcrum to do all the work?

Your help is much appreciated. Cheers.

 

Thanks Rob!

 

Any updates Rob, I assum It won't be until next week new for the Christmas/New Year holiday period...was hoping to get an answer so I could have a few days to "make up my mind"....

Silly question, this is a set of four, or just two as pictured??

Cheers, Andrew

Enquiry Details:

im interested in purchasing some tein super street coilovers, im just wondering is it possible 2 get the teins declared as a gift and a low value such as 200 US so that these wont get stung with gst and import tax's etc?.
Cheers,
Simon Rimes

 

haha, companies like this. All our Japanese friends that send us $1500 coilovers as gifts haha.

And all my random ebay friends also.

Woot for supercheap coilovers and parts.

 

Hi Rob

Dont get me wrong I think if we can buy in Oz and keep the money and support of businesses in our own country well and good, however there has been considerable talk in both this thread and simons (hot300zx) coilover threads regarding the differences between the Jap and Aus spec coilover kits. As far as I have been able to find out is the Aus spec some with pillow ball tops whereas the import ones do not. Pillow ball tops are great but do wear the balls quite quickly compared to a rubber mount setup.

It would be great as you are quite fluent with UAS if you could contact JP or Fulcrums and find out the exact differences between the two as there has been a lot of conjecture. When I was enquiring Fulcrum were very hush hush about it due to the fact they didnt have any in stock to sell anyway.

I think everyone who has enquired my self included would like to know exactly what they are buying. So far I have the spring rates as the same which would mean the valving would be the same as it directly relates to the spring rate chosen and the only difference is pillow balls included in AUS spec kits and AUS spec kits are ADR approved and legal for road use in AUS.

Hopefully it can be cleared up once and for all.

Side note all Fulcrum dont have any in stock and apparently wont have until mid to late January there was two sets SS with rubber mounts available two weeks ago and 1 Flex kit.

Happy new year all
