Hey all,

Just recently got some Tein SS coilovers.. had them installed, but was advised by the installer that he could not get the front as low as the rear...

Really find it hard to believe that my fronts have to sit a whole 2cm higher than the rear... surely they are not built this way?

So my question is....Is it normal for front suspension to not be as adjustable as low as the rear in this product? Anyone else had similar experiences?

Thanks for any help!

Maybe the preload has been tampered with. I understand with Super Streets that they aren't technically height adjustable, but rather just preload adjustable. However for example if you made the preload harder then it would raise the car. This could be the issue in your case, how low did the rear go?

Rears are 658mm, fronts are sitting at around 680mm with 18" rims (measured from ground to wheel arch), difference of about 2cm, but it is noticeable imo.

Only good thing with the front up is im not having to stress to much about scraping atm lol.

Im not too sure what the guys did, as far as i know they didnt adjust any of the dampening or w/e, was just twist the height and fit. Should i get a 2nd opinion on the coilovers from a different mech?

      I've watched some vids and the technique seems to be to butt the sheets up to one another and use MIG to spot weld and slowly fill in the spots until its eventually all sealed. No runs as you would normally do, as there's too much heat generated that way. Yeah my stick welds are terrible these days because its been so long since i've done any of it. I expect to be spending many hours practicing

      I have personally seen a Tomei USA RB26 cam that didn't even fit the head. Kind of nuts to me that it was even possible for that to happen but such is life.  There's two UP Garages in the US. One is a US branch of the Japanese company which sells things they brought over at tremendous markup. The other is University Place Garage/Fairlady Motors which is a shop best known for putting VCAM in RBs and trying to convince people to stop putting in 800hp of turbo on a 2.5L motor.

      Gasless MIG is not exactly suited to what I would call "delicate" or "attractive" welding. So I would rule it out for sheet metal rust repair type stuff, unless you're only doing it in hidden places. I'm thinking about getting myself a gasless MIG for "hack together" type work. Noting that my welding experience is very very low, and quite a long time ago. So I'm also looking for "simple", but I'm not expecting "excellent". I'm not even sure that proper MIG is the best for sheet metal work. I get the feeling that the degree of control and the minimisation of heat input that you get from TIG is probably what you really want. And then you have to get good at doing it before the welds won't look like a monkey flinging a handful of shit anyway. You're probably SOL for an easy and cheap way to get from where you are to where you want to be. Much like myself.

      Any recommendations for what would be the easiest welding type to start on, for sheet metal rust repairs and maybe some exhaust piping too? Seems like MIG is the most common. Would gasless MIG be ok to learn on and do some simple jobs? I have a stick welder which has a Lift TIG setting, but i'm more interested in getting whatever's easiest to do, and most suitable, rather than using what i have.
