[Bazza]

[marcus]

If they are not like them in pic i can not see how i could make the ones i have go lower ;)

[Bazza]

marcus

i have explained as best as i could in the pm`s that have passed between us

not sure why you think by posting it up on here that i would be able to offer much more information

they are adjustable

perhaps you would be better asking mark at tdi or steve audio as they have both 1st hand knowledge on how these work

They are the TEIN super Street ones, but as you can see from the pic how do i ajust them to make them go lower?? all i can see is 1 big nut but it dont look like it can up or down , like the ones in 1st pic at the start of this post, if it can how do i move it ;)

[Rob]

in the pic that u posted at the top of this page, on each of the units u can see a large silver nut- this is the adjuster. also in the pic are 2 C spanners use these

to adjust the nut up or down.

in the 2nd pic they dont look adjustable for height maybe just adjustable damping?? the super street looks like the ones in the first pic also.

Matt why you think they are not adjustable ;) please tell me why you think this, just like to know if we are thinking the same thing

Im sorry Bazza im not out to upset you mate but i need to know if they are adjustable or not and if they are not then they are no good to me, as this was one of the 1st things i asked you, as i said how low can they go and you told me 60mm you think!! but i think you only told me this as this was told to you by some one :winky:

[Monster-Mat]

because if the spring seat platforms dont move.........they will only go as low as the spring seat platform will allow.

as the spring seat doesnt move.............you get the drift

so for us to know if these are height adjustable suspension units, can you tell me if the bottom spring seat platform moves, for it to move there has to be threads, or a means to lock it at an adjusted amount

by the way you dont need C spanners, you dont get them with TTE coilovers

have you actually bothered to ask the two people i mentioned

the two people who have first hand knowledge of these

thought not .....

yet you are willing to doubt me

[Monster-Mat]

hmmmm, the bottom seats dont look adjustable, is there a model code/Model name on the shock absorber body

ive searched the Tein website, i cannot see any like these listed, are these a discontinued model?.or a Japan only Model

im off to look at Tein Japan

yep just got back from finding on Tein Japan that they are Tein NA or NR

they are adjustable, not by the Normal means as in a coulover but by means of some slots on the body.....................?????

i quote

"........The C Ring Type height adjustment mechanism enables a wide range of driving variations depending on the situation, by changing the setting for weight balance, corner weight.

* Base setting is 2nd from top. The position for the 4 steps are defined based on the model data and putting in consideration the lever ratio, is set to change by 10mm. However, if set in a position other than the base position, there is a possibility for spring space to occur or other problems from pre-load overload......."
