Near new Tein Flex, travelled around 5,000kms. Will pass any inspection. Come with EDFC Controller and solenoids (worth over $450) , 8kg/cm (Front) & 6kg/cm (Rear)

Circumstances have changed and i have sourced higher spec shocks with alloy bodies which i hope will better suit the track work my car does.

Asking $1600 for shocks, EDFC and even stickers :worship:. Located in melbourne, rather not post, but willing to courier at buyers expense.

SOLD

Cant honestly answer as they are in my living room. If someone buys my Bilsteins i have for sale then these will be going in for a month or so until my new springs/shocks etc are sorted. If someones buys these then Bilsteins will stay in the car until the new gear is arrived.

If your looking for day to day comfort and still great handling the Bilsteins are far better for the street. My theory is with normal road tyres you never have enough grip to need this high a spring rate on the street. But my car is mostly used for drving to/from the track, with the occassional long run interstate so...ride comfort was not such a concern when i grabbed the Teins

I purchased these as on the track the higher spring rates (which are the std springs for the teinss...so i hope well matched) will mean that with semi slicks on and far higher grip levels and corner speed, the car would be a little more balanced with less pitch under brakes. For a street car i cant see them being bear as good as the Bilsteins. On the track the Bilsteins would be equally as good, until you put real grippy semi slicks on the car then the Bilsteins fall over a little without re-valving for higher spring rates (well thats my 2c anyway :worship: )

Have got another set of Teins, though they are the RA. I understand that they are the top of the range Tein, only ones better are the ones with the remote reservoir. They are alloy, and the Melb workshop who i want to use has done some great things with them on other peoples cars....so will see.

    • Let's hope that's not a copy pump either. There were so many copies of them back in the day.
    • Damn it, I was at work last night, and stayed in a room there during the storm with the car outside, but undercover, I just went downstairs and well....there was a large steel locker that has come from some place last night, it wasn't anywhere I could see yesterday, and yeap, it landed on the fraking car....of course it did..... LOL So, I'll need to take it back for paint and panel, luckily it was only the boot that took the hit, so it could have been worse Serves me right for staying at work and getting on the cans with some of the boys
    • Yeah, really happy with how it all turned out As for aftermarket lip, nah, I'm not really a fan for practically reasons on a street car that gets driven everywhere  I did have the full lower kit on my 2015 STI, but found the front lip scrapped alot, even at stock 4x4ish ride height As the NC sits now, with the lowest point of the car at 110mm, so just legal, some steep driveways and steep speed humps will still "just" scrap those little plastic OEM air dam thingies on the undertray just before the front wheels
    • Here's one I help build and tuned a decade ago, Garrett  GTX3071R Gen 1, T3 twin scroll 0.83 rear housing. Went from larger 272 cams down to smaller Tomei Poncams to help with the low end. S13 non VCT motor. Car was purpose built for the track, hence low down was the focus. Note the actual dyno chart shows lower boost, however the EBC and boost gauge showed 1.9Bar (Ignore the torque, I was young and didn't know how to set derived torque)  
    • I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.
