Hey guys, looking for a suspension upgrade for my EK hatchback.
Looking at new Tein Street Advance model - TEIN USA | PRODUCTS | STREET ADVANCE
Its a newer version of Super Street (and cheaper :secret:), and it will cost me around $1000 shipped.
Does anyone have experience?
Mostly using my Civic for street, maybe some track in a future.
 
Tein make some of the best coilovers on the market, if spending on coilovers though id go for something with a bit more adjustment like the mono flex kit

everything is made in Japan too so quality isnt a worry

Circuit master N1...you know you want to :dance:

haha, thats why we drive Honda :)
About Mono Flex - I live in Ukraine and roads are really bad here :) and as I heard Mono Flex is really harsh even on softest settings.
And my budget is really about 1000.
Thats why I am asking for any reviews.
 
if youre on a budget speak with Meister R (you can find them in the retailer section)

excellent quality coilover

I am not sure about shipping from UK to Ukraine, for teins I have $100 shipping option by sea, from USA.
 
I had Tein super street on my hatch.
I believe they are almost the same, Couldn't find the real difference between them on tein's website, so I'll throw some info on the super street.

Build quality looks good,
16 way adjustable,
on soft they are comfortable, hard settings are really hard.
I had mine set to 12 front and 10 rear (from full hard).
Handling was good and I liked them.

Height adjustablity is they're weak spot in my opinion,
Rear could tuck tires, but the front had about 2 fingers wheel gap, or even 2.5, I removed one of the locking perches, and It became 1 finger wheel gap.
Tyres were 185/60/14.
I wanted a bigger drop so for me it was a downside.
I've read on tein's website that the street advance lowers even 5mm less in the front.

Had them almost a year of daily driving without issues.
Again I'm pretty sure the street advance is the same coilover with minor upgrades.
