DShox Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 Hello all, Anyone know of any tuners that could work on suspension setups in the Birmingham area? I need my Teins looking at but Toyota said they cant do it and I should find a specialist garage. Thanks, D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 I take it you have the Tein adjustables? Can you not just make the ride a little softer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DShox Posted September 16, 2005 Author Share Posted September 16, 2005 no fraid not - i'm not too up on how to adjust suspensions properly but Toyota said they need 'tuner attention'. So I called Chris W who said that they need replacing or refurbing. It's apparently not a ride height issue but a fundamental flaw in TEIN shocks. Chris recommended Bilsteins or something else (can't remember). I have dampened the ride by turning the gold screws on the top of the suspension points but the big thudding noise is cos the suspension is bottoming out. found a TEIN dealer in Wolverhampton who will take a look tho...
