SupraJames Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 Great pice of kit the Super Street, did you get the pillowball mounts to..? I did not at the time to save costs, and have been told that you can only buy them with the kit, TEIN will not sell them on their own Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky-Ricky Posted December 29, 2006 Author Share Posted December 29, 2006 Yes got the top mount with them, saves a lot of messing about with spring clamps, the top mounts are not pillow ball ie spherical bearings, they are rubber mounts, which is good as i didn't want the harshness of spherical's.

I'm just waiting on Miami GT to get their Credit card payment system set up before I order mine. Great pice of kit the Super Street, did you get the pillowball mounts to..? I did not at the time to save costs, and have been told that you can only buy them with the kit, TEIN will not sell them on their own I'm not sure how true this is. Have a look at teins website. They are listed seperately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogmaw Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 Got mine with EDFC all sorted by Paul Whiffin a couple of weeks back. Very happy with the whole thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky-Ricky Posted December 29, 2006 Author Share Posted December 29, 2006 So you got them then mate. I'm just waiting on Miami GT to get their Credit card payment system set up before I order mine. : Yeah decided to go for them without checking them out first, just didn't have the time, and anyway my only alternative was the comfort sport, and AFAIKS the main difference is the valving as they run the same spring rate, also it would of taken six weeks or more to get here.

Nic Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 next to fit is the Blitz SBC i-colour as soon as it gets here from Nic;) Apologies Dick, it took a week for me to get the boost controller in black and not been able to post out yet. I'll post after New Year when the PO is open again, I'll send by Speedpost instead which only takes 1-3 days to UK, so you should receive later next week.

Thanks Nic:d you liked the subtle hint then seriously though Nic i really didn't expect mega quick at this time of year, that apart from all your troubles with your car, hope you come up with a reasonable solution without breaking the bank.

Tricky-Ricky Posted January 2, 2007 Author Share Posted January 2, 2007 Just thought i'd post my first impressions of the Tein set up, out of the box the ride hight is very similar to the suspension that i took off (unknown make) perhaps 15mm higher at the back and 20mm at the front, but i'm sure the springs will settle a bit so no adjustment yet, as for feel and handling, well it was still wet so took things a bit steady, ride was pretty similar to the previous suspension which is good as i wanted comfortable, and in general they are good (i have crap roads in my area) EDFC is very good and easy to set and change:) on soft damping the ride is good and certainly not uncontrolled, i have settled on just under half way for good A roads, although a firmer setting is not bad but feels unnecessary, turn in seems to have improved a bit so has stability when flicking through opposing bends, unfortunately i didn't notice a real difference in braking, on other cars my old S14 for instance, braking improved markedly when i fitted coil overs, but i think it may be down to the different suspension on the Supra, overall i'm well pleased:) which is good comment coming from a critical bugger like me;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
