Tein Superstreets......

[scoobysailor]

My rear suspension has finally given up (surprise, surprise!).

I have been toying with the idea of replacing it with TEIN superstreets. Are they any good for general road use? I am used to a pretty firm ride ( ) as I have PRODRIVE springs fitted just now.

Anybody got any suggestions who has them fitted.......

hi mate have got them on my car,they are quite firm although i have them on a mid damping setting

so i can soften it more for long journeys

Just to add another question on the same topic.

How reliable are they really? Anyone broken a set yet, after a few years? Naturally they will wear our eventually, but has anyone managed it yet?

I use em, only had them a year, so nothing broken yet. They are pretty rough though, especialy now with racing seats. I dont have the mounts, just the standard set ups though the stiffness is adjustable by hand. I'd wouldn't recommend them purely for road use.

have a look at the bc kit in the group buy over on snet,had a set on mine for a couple of months now and am more than happy,reckon the ride better than the prodrive springs 90% of the time

i have the full setup on superstreets (including topmounts) and not any complaints, very firm but worth it for the handling. i keep mine on the mid setting all the time

I've only had mine on for a week but I'm more than happy with them so far

[stuarted]

had mine on for about 6 months, fairly stiff ride as noted above. Night and day between the Tein and P1 standard suspension that I though was quite good. Got mine on the softest setting for road use and it's fairly easy to live with. Hardest on track is great fun!

I've found over the last few years that TEIN seems to be on the hard / rough side.. Made for nice smooth Jap roads and great on Race Tracks! Just not particulalry comfortable on the UK roads... Then again from some of your comments maybe i'm just getting old and can't take the rough ride!!

I'd look into various other options AST's are very good and as they can be supplied through PowerStation you can have them valved and sprung for rough UK. Prices on those start from just over £1K.

I know the feeling

Cheers for the comments above.......

Took the plunge when I got the chance of a set of nearly new TEIN Superstreets (3600 miles) from a car at SW Motorsport. Got them fitted today and already I am well chuffed with them - need to get my geometry sorted before I throw it about too much

Cheers for all the advice......
