Are you still having the issue with the Teins bouncing ? I am just wondering if I should purchase a set of those now. I have used basics on my b14 with no issues to this day.

sorry been away from the forums lately. The hopping is due to the spring rate that the Tein SS comes for the B13. TopDog you wont have any issues for your B14.

Try adjusting the height to your liking enoehttemi. either lower the front or raise the rear to even it out. simple.

I dont know what Tein was thinking when they matched the springs with the shocks for the B13. They should have just used the spring rates they use for the B14. Thats what I did for my NX. Before ordering I changed the springs to the B14 spring rate

Where did you order your teins?

Regardless of spring rate you should not be experiencing a bouncy ride.

Since you have higher rate springs, your struts will have to be adjusted to a higher dampening level to control the movement of the higher rate spring. Try turning up the strut settings, if the shocks are able to handle that spring rate, you should notice the ride getting smoother and less bouncy. That will be your optimum setting for racing and street.

Your struts are designed to dampen spring motion not make the ride stiffer or softer.

I have heard people complain that the Teins are poor/bouncy before. Hope you get it to your liking. If not I would suggest selling these to someone less performance oriented and buying a superior damper such as Koni.
