Tein SS Damper special offer: Free horsepower (for ricers)

[Jackass-Jeff]

The SS came w/ about 25 stickers...

2 white TEIN
2 black TEIN
2 Tein Mascot
1 TEIN that was like the Si sticker Honda uses on the Si
and about 18 more little stickers of the mascot, coil overs, www.tein.com, etc...

So that adds 250 hp once you install those =P

Note: If you want a 1 finger to 2 finger gap, install it at a 3.5-4 finger gap... once it settles, you'll get there...

You got those installed? How's the ride?

[Jackass-Jeff]

Car dropped off @ about 1030 am
Car ETA @ about 400pm
Actual Time @ 730pm (stupid Tein lagged the order...)
Settling ETA @ about midnight (if not longer)

It's smoother than stock but I have to fix the dampening force and the ride height before any real review... I'll post up a real review of these things after a week w/ them. I'll compare it to the JIC Coilover, Eibach/Tokico and Tein/Tokico setups I've sat in.

How much is it?

How do you change the settings when the interior is back in place?

[Jackass-Jeff]

To change the ride height:

You have to lift the car so the wheels hang down. Then you put the 2 hooks they give you (wrench-like things) and turn.

To change the dampening force:

You just use a lil hex thing and 'click ' a screw on the top of the assembly. The front ones are easy to do, but adjusting the rear requires removing the damn rear deck =x

My current ride height (about 48 hours now) is 1 finger front and 1/2 finger back. I'm riding on 225/40/18. I set the dampening force at the lowest.

Handling is A LOT better than stock and the ride (somehow) is smoother than stock (except for BIG bumps)

Also, the +50 offset fits w/ 18x8 =]

I thought you can control the damp from the inside of the car. Did you not get the Tein SS? How about pics? How discreet is that! Hook a brutha up with the 411. Glad to see you finaly got them! Congrats!
