Front Tein NA with Tein Springs (lower adjuster rings screwed all the way down, upper adjusting knob set to 2 clicks tighter than centreshadowarrior wrote:Lol
You have tein springs right? Details of your set up please

Custom front alloy strut bar, rear GPvR strut bar.
I don't know the spring rates, but I do have this printout from Fulcrum when I had the NA's rebuilt, dunno if it helps...

You also need to stop taking what everyone tells you as gospel.shadowarrior wrote:Just got off the phone with one of the managers in Fulcrum's head office. Tein's QSR36-AVSS2; adjustable Super Street damper for FTO is only authorized to sell in the UK. They can't legally sell it here or even bring it in. If I want it, I need to order it from UK. They are happy to service it when the time comes.
There are no similar products from Tein for the FTO to be sold here. I'll check if they can be ordered via Camskill. I do have some options from Eibach, Apex and Teins for springs if I decide to go down that path.
I found some more part numbers for you here... by 'searching'

"Tein Type HA SAP-49 96316. Also has DKR36-11746-R, DE3A-FR-97A markings on them"

Re: The Suspension Thread
Another option is RSR Ti2000 springs. I've got them on mine and rate them highly.

Re: The Suspension Thread
Strangely enough, I'm contemplating getting some new coilovers. My Teins are overdue for a rebuild.
Was thinking about those BC V1 Design VA's. Onlt $1150 from JustJap.

7kg & 5kg is getting up on the heavy scale, but my car doesn't do that many kms these days. Use the missus company car (free fuel) for long distance.

Re: The Suspension Thread
Bennoz, I spoke to Dan (Option1Garage) who can do custom spring rating for the BC at no extra cost. The lowest he could get for the BC BR Gold was 5kg front and 4kg rear.
Think he also has free delivery/postage option.

Re: The Suspension Thread
Went with the BRs. Tougher monotube design, larger oil capacity, more suited for my car as I carry a little extra weight up front & see some track days.
