Tein Super Street Coilovers, any new users?

Quite interested in the Tein Super Street coilovers, and did a search on them and could only find older posts and speculation about them being 'too stiff' but very few people who had actually reported in after using them.

I have used Tein HA's on other cars and was quite impressed in them!

Does anyone have these, or ridden in a car with them? If so how were/are they?

I'm interested in this too! I have looked at the basic damper kit from Tein and and ran Tein on a previous car. Loved the way it worked on the car before, but have never heard anything about the mini...

I had them with the edfc.. worst coils ever and they didnt last long. gooood ridence

the rates really didnt match the shocks and they had a bout an inch of lowering travel before they became bouncier than a pogostick. if you drove hard on them for more than 15min. they would start feeling "akward"

Are you the same guy that pmed me on MU?

If so, Justintime and i traded coils, so he had my old ones.

i say there are better options for that price range, if you could manage to get some tein flex coils, i know those are much bettter that the ss.
