Tenzo/Arospeed springs/coilovers

[Race94]

What are you toughts on these??

 

[jtmcinder]

Given what I've seen by Tenzo, they're probably crap. What are the spring rates? I'll bet that you could call the head of the tech dept at Tenzo and he or she would have no idea. That would be another bad sign.

my personal opinion is dont buy slipovers they suck ive never heard anything good about slip overs. save your money and buy a full coilover system i recommend tein. i have tein and they actually ride better than stock i thought it would make it real stiff. i paid 265 for my suspension but i also have a id number. i think the msrp on them is 750 but they are worth every penny. or bag it.

IMO, the best $1000 suspension for an AWD 2G is Koni Yellows and GC coil-overs with rates around 500/450.

There. Now you can say that you've heard something good about "slip-over" type coil-overs.

obviously youve never road on a full coil over suspension

If you know of a full coil-over set-up that costs $1000 and is as good or better than GC/Konis, then I'm all ears. If you have some other point, I must have missed it.

My Koni and Ground Control slipover kits is the best bang for the buck for a 2G suspension. For less then one G you can't do better, though the caveat is you have to learn to set them up. However if you ask nicely or do a little research you can find the proper settings on various different forums, even this one! And you want to use a setup from people who have a lot of experience with them. The only proper coilover I would consider would be the JIC setup for RRE. They actually took the time to set them up with different spring rates more suitable for you intended driving style. Though $1800 is a high cost for something that might only be worth a couple tenths. I have yet to see a back to back comparison of a proper coilover (of any make) and a properly setup Koni/GC combo.

See now, they don't suck and someone said something good about slip overs.
