Tein lowered spring set for Carib wagon

Postby Simon K » Sun Feb 12, 2012 9:31 pm

Looking at having these fitted in the next week or two, anyone else got them and can comment on ride quality/ease of getting up driveways etc?

I heard they are specific for the wagon. Really need something that can handle the occasional heavy load without bottoming out, unlike the standard springs. Not riding like a baby Hilux while empty would be nice too.

Fitted them to my mates Carib, real nice quality ride. Not super low so easy to get in and out of driveways.

Got Teins in my Caldina and in Ngaeres AE101 FXGT
they are mint in both of these cars compared to others I've used
not stupid low, not stupid stiff - driveways, humps etc are ok as long as you are sensible
