Tein is looking for a test car.

Tein is looking for a test car, looking for a 2004 Saturn Ion. I'm sure they meant Redline because the QC came out earlier and they said 04+. You have to be in Southern California..

Here is the address.

BTW, just to let yall know. Tein is releasing 2 different springs + 2 different coilover setups for the Cobalt SS SC. HOW JACKED IS THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THEY ONLY WANT TO MAKE SPRINGS FOR US..

It's listed in thier 2006 Catalog.

If the coilovers are nice, we'll make them fit! what brand cartridges, do they make their own?

you never heard of tein?

tein = one of the best japanese suspenson brands..

thier cobalt SS products are still TBA, but they are in developement obviously..

What's great about them is that they are well priced, high quality, and very durable..

They are making the Super Street Coilovers for the Cobalt SS. They are going to be dampening adjustable plus height adjustable. They are also compatible with thier EDFC, basically a ON THE FLY suspension adjustable unit from inside the car.

I believe tein makes thier own cartridges...

it's not going to be like jbody's, how they use a bilstien shock..

Yeah i just saw the lowering spring for the 'balt, guess you got the inside info on that huh? Any pics of the struts? Everything's the same on the 'balt except for the upper hat...we can fab up an adapter if it's worth it.

[Watts-Up]

Oh and yeah, I've heard of them, just never seen/played with any.

Almost every serious street import around here has tein coilovers..

I don't have the inside info, I just looked at thier 2006 catalog and the Cobalt SS SC was listed..

The Super Street setup should be about $1000-$1200 bucks and a lot better than the jbody setup..

That's a good value if they're that nice. Gravana's got a nice set with Koni's that should be out in a few more months,but they will probably be twice as expensive...cant beat that sweat shop labor, LOL, J/K, just kidding! If they were smart they would do like Gravana's doing, which is just making 3 or 4 different upper hat set-ups to complement the struts, so the same strut will fit the RL' QC, 'balt, SS/SC, Saab, and I think maybe Cavy and Opel too,and maybe some other over seas models as well...
