Tein & Cusco gear

Postby scary » Tue Apr 07, 2009 10:32 am

OK so it's time to start messing with the STi now that I have 3000k on it. Looking for Tein Coilovers and peoples experience with them, and some Cusco swaybars, roll centre adjustment kit etc.

I am very new to this liberty as the last one I had for 14 years. Can someone point me in the right direction of where I can get gear for an 08TBSTi sedan. Willing to import or freight from east as I am in WA.

If anyone has run the coilovers with the in car adjustment let me know you thoughts as I am interested in these (getting old and like the comfort for daily driving)

Basically I have looked on Japan parts etc and I am struggling to find what I want.

Are the parts for earlier models the same as 08 ie 04/05 liberty's?

Thanks in advance.

BTW ARITH I love those front guards, any chance of you letting me know where to get them?

I am running Tein Flex Coilovers and cusco front and rear sway bars and let me just say something ............. DOOO ITTTTT :lol:

in my opinion i noticed so much improved handling and the comfort to me didnt suffer (only when hitting a bit pot hole)..

best mod i ever done.

Me too, initially in the previous GT went King Springs.... then Tein's, I made the mistake of switching back to STi Pink Springs, but should have known better.

These coil overs are the great, had them over a year now and still they are riding perfect. Comfy enough to hug corners confidently and you don't get that jittering effect in some poorer quality coilovers. Adjustable too which make them so convenient.

And sways... best bang for buck mod IMO.

KW Variant-2 coilovers. Made in Germany, designed for German roads, which are rougher than the Japanese-made coilovers for smooth Japanese roads. Comfier than stock shocks with lowered springs, and handles better too :P
