I don't need to worry too much. I will have a set of Tein adj. Coil Over install tonight.

Just need to get the cert. later

Where are you getting these thru-and who is installing them for you?

and how much for the kit + install?

My guess is here Still a bit expensive IMO unless you can buy conditional on a shock dyno test. Plus the $450 for a cert.

lol that dude on trademe is a load of rubbish not even the tein type flex cost that much ........try more around the $2500 brand new Tein only do one kit for the caldina called super street aka type super wagon, so i dont know where he got $4500 from gees you could buy the EDFC and still come in under that, that was if they did them for the caldina

$&#$%, certification must be expensive where you have been, most places are $300 - $350.

Got the Tein Suspension fitted 20 minutes ago. (Me and my friend work together took just over an hour to fit them all.)
Road test on bumpy road, not bad at all with medium setting. (Better than Tein springs with standard shocks) Just not used to the air valve noise.
Cornering: way better than standard shocks. It can hold the corner very well. It's the Tein HA Sport Spec Driving Master, secondhand but in perfect condition. I can play with the camber on the front as well.
Need to cert. and wheel alignment next.


I got it for very reasonable price. Therefore, I don't have any complaint.

Now, I have a set of Tein Springs for sale. Only two months old. Anyone wants it? $250.00 will do.

[Santa'sBoostinSleigh]

oooh i could be keen
how low did they make you go and was it on standards?

[GT-T]

The Tein Spring is not that super low. It's around 25mm lower than standard. But it feel firmer than the standard one on corner.
Kings Spring would be a bit more bouncy and lower but it may bottm the suspension

[Santa'sBoostinSleigh]

how would the Tein spring compare to the TRD ones?

is Tein what youve got SNWTOY?

im tossing up what to do cause my Kings(?) (that are for a corolla?) are ghey and have fux0red my shocks

will your Teins fit a 97 dina?

[GT-T]

My Tein Springs will fit 97 caldina.

[Santa'sBoostinSleigh]

tempting...... so tempting

[Santa'sBoostinSleigh]

WHAT SHOULD I DO?!?!?!!?


springs all round atm = kings
rear shocks = fux0red genuines
fronts are ok im guessing?
currently a crappy bouncy ride, and the thumping noise is getting worse
ive got the bearing, so ill get that fitted when i get the shocks done
are the bearings an easy (can i do it) job, or a mechanic type one?
im assuming the shocks and springs will be easy for me to do?


yeah any advice/tips would be great!

I thought it was pretty steep as well, apparently it varies according to the type of modification and how greedy the certifier is, but bank on at least $380 for a coil over cert.
