Tein Coilovers...

Post by drewriviera »

I am needing to replace struts, shocks, and coil springs on my 91 SS. Would putting on a set of the Tein Flex type coilovers be a better idea? Are the ones for GC8's direct bolt ons? From what I've read anything for GC8's work...Has anyone used these? Any advice would be appreciated! Also, I DO NOT want to lower my car!
Thanks!

Hey Drew, I am running these on my car for the gc8 fitment and they are great! they bolt right in. Just make sure to run the softest setting lol. If you go full stiff, you'll knock your fillings out.

if 04 STi/WRX's shocks fit our sedans with no problems, i would think the coilcovers would work too.

Sorry guys just saw this post. You can run the stock height, just adjust the ride height to the highest setting on the coilover. I don't see any reason why they wouldn't fit the FWD. I believe they use the same strut mounts at the hubs.
