I LOVE the fucking mail man [TEINS came in!]
Well, I finally got my TEINS SS in for my car today. Gonna see if the sun stays out long enough today so I can start on the install since its my spring break. I can't wait to get them on and starting messing with dampers and height.
Will have pictures soon!!

Yeah they will be going on the sentra. I got Koni Yellow/Eibachs on the Integra already. I am hoping that for hte bumpy roads we have here in Kansas that the dampers that will help.

Teins ride close to stock on setting 1...if stock was a 10, the tein will ride about an 8...it will still be bumpy...but not bone-jarring bumpy like other shitty coilovers...make sure to grease the thread with high temp grease or else in the future it will be hard to adjust them...as debris get in there they will freeze the sleeve...

Koni Yellow and an eibach spring. I dont think you can really beat that. Coil-Overs from what I hear tend to ride harsh and are only meant for track cars.

Tein SS are very comfortable, i don't think there's another coilover system that will beat them in terms of ride quality...i do agree with ground controls, skunk2 (same thing), and other coilovers...no matter what shocks you match them with..they will still be harsh..

Yeah i agree with that for the most part. But these aren't the traditional coilover sleeves that most people buy that don't include the damper/shocks. But I do agree that the Eibach/Koni Yellow set up on my Integra was VERY good.
