Tein Street Basis Z

[Sargara]

Did a quick search on here and didn't get any results for this.

 

Spotted these on my usual eBay trawl:

Most relevant review I found was on youtube (warning: Murica content):

 

Just wondering if anyone has any hands-on experience with these, a £250 saving over other entry level coilovers is not to be sniffed at IMO.

No top mounts is why they're cheap.

[Richf]

They arent usually that cheap

[Tarmac@TarmacSportz]

They are Teins budget coilovers

 

We can supply at that price now - been meaning to post it up but been really busy this week

bump - anybody tested these yet?

 

They seem like exactly what I need. I don't track, I spend 90% of my time on motorways so ride comfort isn't even the biggest deal, since most motorways are pretty flat. Ish.

 

Are they decent quality? Do they hold the road well? Are they a bit crashy in terms of comfort?

From what I gather the r & d for tein dampers are carried out in Asia, compared to the likes of BC and MeisteR's which are done on European roads. Not sure about on the Z33 but on must other if not all, tein dampers are a harsh ride.

^good to know, thanks.

 

Time to email tarmacsportz I think!

^Just the kinda response I was hoping for.

 

Thanks!

We have supplied a few sets to forum members and the feedback has been very positive. They are an ideal replacement for a tired set of OEM dampers if you are not looking for damper adjust-ability.

 

We keep them on the shelf if anyone needs.
