Tein Super Street Or G4 Coilovers From Justjap

[nuffsaid]

Hi

Has anyone used the Tein Super Streets (aussie revalved versions) or the new G4 coilovers from JustJap in their skylines?

The Teins I think are good because of their softer spring rates (5 front 4 rear) but are about $1850.

The G4's are monotube but with a much harder spring rate (around 13 front and 9 rear, CRAZY!) but supposedly these can be changed and cost about $1400.

I want something for the street, it probably will never see the track. As you may all know, Sydneys roads are really bad so something that is comfortable is a must!

Are the teins good quality? design? comfortable on the street? and good performance coilovers?

I know there is also the other alternative, whiteline springs and bilstein shocks that SK has a group buy for.

Thanks

SK what do you think of the design of the G4's? are they too simplistic? are the teins too simplistic?

i got the super streets (aus version) in my car. big improvement over the shitty KYB's shocks that were in previously. ive driven it on a very rough section up my street. before my car would bounce everywhere, requiring a heck of a lot of corrections, as well as a sore head. teins, hardly any corrections, and my head is thanking me

13/9 seems pretty insane.

At 13/9 you might aswell not have a spring but just a giant bump stop.

Its definately insane, but you can get different spring rates, dont know if theyll go as low as 13/9 though.

How was the ride height? and previously what springs did you use with your KYBs?

Is handling better on good roads?

And does anyone know if the super streets are both bump and rebound adjustable?

Hi nuffsaid, I though I would jump on give you a bit more info on the G4's that you may or may not already be aware of.

The response we have had from our customers buying the G4's is that they are already quite streetable in standard form, but unlike other brands, we can provide any of our customers with a custom spring rate package, tailored to their requirements - So the standard rates they come with off the shelf are easily changed, and we can supply the custom springs to order, usually within around 4-5 business days.

In short, what we are providing for our customers in the G4 Racing shocks is a fully customizable coilover package, at an unbeatable price, so there is no need to settle for what they come with from the factory, instead you can effectively choose your own spring rates.

If you have any questions please feel free to ask, as we are only too happy to assist you.

Cheers,

ride height is adjustable, currently at 100mm legal clearance from bottom most bit of the car (exhaust in my case). Im pretty sure it was just the stock r32 springs on there.

Is handling better on good roads?

yer a hell of a lot better. car doesnt seem to "float" no more, though thats a lot more to do with a better alignment and sitting lower than before

if you cant afford the teins, i would get the g4's with a 6/5 spring rate (front/back) if your after street comfort and occasional track use.

Also - even though you have said you won't track the car it's interesting to note that the guy leading the Wakefield lap times (Russ aka giant) runs those Tein Super Streets. Pretty much because Wakefield is a bumpy track and it seems those super streets are great for absorbing the bumps without making the car rolly. (For example Tien HA's don't abosrb bumps well and make a shockingly hard car to drive around in bumpy conditions)

I know Russ rates them pretty highly.

hey bud,

check out the link in my signiture for some very competitive prices/quality coilovers

[nuffsaid]

Anybody else with any opinions regarding the coilovers above?

I wonder what the piston size is for each.

I also came across Tein Type CS coilovers which are 4k front and rear and supposedly built for "comfort".

[MMM]

perfectrun.com seem to have cheap coilovers

[BHDave]

I also run super streets and am happy with them. I can't comment on the G4's other thna the spring rates seem high, but steve has addressed that above.

Just be aware that prices from perfect run and nengun are ex tax and duty, so its a bit of a lottery if you get stuff cheap or if you get stung by customs. It is the importers responsibility to pay, so if it is being shipped direct to you, then you are the importer.
