xlinebackerx · 09-24-2008, 03:07 AM

I like mine alot. I heard to autoX that Teins and CSKs are the way to go. But on my daily, they are fine. You should shorten them through the perches instead of the knuckle adapter. AND you should lower them all you can/want and adjust the bounce/stiffness through the valving. People blow them if they do them the other way around I heard.

I got ksports on my b15 and love them the ones that gave issues in the past where the first gen but the new 2nd gens are great and not many issues have been reported with them.

Mine fronts blew last year and got it replace thru warantee n now my rears r blown.

the droop travel (suspension travel when loaded) is less than OEM...........that is with the coilovers spring perches all the way up and height adjusted from the knuckle.

i made a full thread on them on the none dash forum when i got them. i was the first to own them and give any sort of usefull feed back on them. i took all measurements while on the phone with steve foltz......anyone from the none dash forum will remember his name and his knowledge of suspension....he concluded simply by the measurements that they are crap.

there is no need for all that adjustment unless you are a full blown road racer......and in that case you would be buying a coilover set built to your specs by hot bits. just get some AGX's and road magnets and be happy with the track proven set up.

well i went for a ride in a buddy of mines b14 with tien ss's and the ride was spectacular, and when he put some speed into the turns the did great, kind of sold me on the tien brand

TheRealNighthog · 10-05-2008, 03:42 PM

My friend has em in his nx and they ride stuff and very bouncy even when set to full soft. I'm not sure of his spring rates and method of adjusting them. He did only pay 500 shipped brand new for em though.failure could be immenent because most people just dump their cars on em

GTi kurt · 10-05-2008, 07:06 PM

I have them on my N15, they've probably done about 20,000 miles...and the only thing that has happened is on the N15 a part of the axle is slighly different to the B14 and that has rubbed on the rears and left a deep scratch on both. But that's only cosmetic and obvisously you won't have that problem.

I've got used to the ride of them, and on the least hardest stifness there fine for day to day use. I just avoid roads I know are very bad/speed bumps when I can.
