Default Installed Tein RA's

Very impressed with the RA's. The difference between the RA's and oem is huge! These have got to be one of the lightest coilover sets out there too. When I packaged the oem units in the Tein box for storage, I noticed a big difference in weight!

I've got them set at the stiffest setting and it feels good. Any other RA impressions out there? Thinking about getting a set for my other car

I installed Tein RA's just last week as well, my first auto-x will be this Sunday on them. You are correct they are MUCH lighter.

I have them set to full stiff and you can certainly tell as the tire slap on cracks is pretty harsh, I was running kg/mm race springs before. On soft it is softer but doesn't seem like a huge difference. I like them.

Maybe a little Loctite might help?
