The install isn't very hard, except personally, I ran into a few seized bolts.

The dampening can be adjusted 16 ways, and even at stiffer settings the ride is still really nice. I get complimented at how nice it rides with an aftermarket suspension.

Price: Approx. $920 (List is $1000, but you can find it for cheaper)

I'd recommend these to any honda/acura.

How difficult is it to adjust the dampening on the Tien's?

I'm considering getting the Basics for simplicity, but if the Super Streets aren't diffcult to adjust, I might as well dig around for more money.

it's simple, you just turn the dial on the top




or if you're hardcore baller, you let the electronic damper force controller change it...just dail in the settings from the driver's seat :evil

Yea, it's a shame that the EDFC isn't compatible with the 5th gen preludes. Something about not having enough room to mount the motors on the struts. I would have loved to have that with my type FLEX.

I've got the same setup on my 92 civic, I love the handling. I haven't gotten any complaints about the ride being to rough, even from my pregnant wife.

damn, thats a shame... I hadn't heard that. I will be calling tein to double check on that. You have flex's? How do you like em? what dont you like, how long have you had em, etc. whenever you get a chance man.

edit- holy crap this is an old post...
