Product Spotlight - Tein USA

Majority of the time when you see a lowered ride, many times you see a green decal on a window or body panel that reads "Tein" (unless you see the green damper dude.....).  These suspension products have proven themselves to be quality products and give a qualtiy ride whether riding on their springs or coilovers. 
Here is a vague look into a few of the many products Tein offers.
It is always recommended to upgrade your shocks when installing lowering springs, but a lot of times this may not be necessary for awhile on Tein H-Techs (High Tech).  Tein S-techs (Style Tech) on the other hand lower the vehicle much lower than H-techs therefore needing the shock upgrade much sooner.
The main street coilovers Tein offers go from their Tein Basics kit all the way to their SS-P (Super Street with Pillowball mounts) kit.  Tein basics are great for the street and occassional race tuner, giving the height adjustability while greatly reducing body roll but not in a way that normal driving is annoyingly bouncy.  On the top end you have their SS-P kit which has height adjustability, along with dampening adjustments.  Only thing missing from this kit is camber adjustment but one toy that makes up for it is Tein's EDFC (Electronic Dampening Force Module) module.  This EDFC can be installed on the SS-P kit and basically allows the user to adjust the dampening force from inside the cabin.

You can find Scion, Toyota, and Lexus Tein products on our site - www.noicsgarage.com
