Thread: GC camber plates + Tein SS co's ?

that would be good but in the end you will have....
$1200 coilovers
$350 camber plates
$400 revalve
$400 swift springs
= $2300
or if you can be patient for hopefully less than 2 months I will be offering a limited edition set of b13 Fortune coilovers that are better than anything else offered for the b13 and will cost less than just the progress coilovers, they also come with camberplates and you don't lose shock travel like you do with the teins or progress coilovers due to the custom body length and independent body and preload adjustment

you would not be useing the ground control nuts. you would be using the tein top nut and would be using the style I explained. I have done it... many times.

Looks like my coilovers will be for sale soon. Im gonna have a big for sale thread. I have so much left to purchase still. Waiting for Chuck to have some free time to get some products out, and Custom Steel is moving shops so I'm still waiting on custom brackets for a p11 rear brake upgrade for the b13.

Im looking into doing a rear upgrade of some type myself. i just got the fastbrakes 11" front kit. ill keep you posted when im ready to do a group buy of those coilovers. have to have 10 people buy them to be worth the hassle and expense of doing a custom run like this. the price for you guys will be very nice though if 10 sets are done at one time.

Yeah I was going to run the wilwood fronts as well, I have a thread on trying to figuring out a good setup. You should critique it haha, I would sign up for that group buy for sure.

it doesnt matter if you have magic coil overs or teins, let them get salt bath for many winters, thats what happens. electrolysis happens, the forces of nature and science dont care if the coil overs are from taiwan or japan.





i can post a ton of pics slandering good company's that have great customer service and a physical location for ppl to drive to to get inspections as well as service. i think its weird your talking down on tein, the very kind he has now while trying to promote your coil overs. thats shady bro.

some like some dont like brands of one or another, thats all good. but to use a tactic like that to make money while they have a functional suspension is wrong dude. he asked if the camber plates will work. whatever

Lol @ JJ. There is a reason Steve and Mike K used to recommend the Tein SS on the B14 for a daily driven car that sees track duty. Yes there are better setups (CSKs or Progress for a B13) or better track only set ups. I've had my coilovers for 6 years on 2 different cars with alot of auto x and road course events and they haven't rusted out. Since my B14 isn't being driven everyday anymore I'm sending them in for a rebuild and also getting revalved for a stiffer spring rate.

If I wanted to make them look like what you posted I could leave them out in the rain in a plastic rubbermaid container for a week. Nice try on trying to bash a product so you can sell your own in the future.

my tein ss after 6 yrs and 100k miles. still going strong. no leaks or broken parts, minimal corrosion on the threaded portion, and worked alright at a few track days.
is there better? of course. but, the valving IS light years better than the new Megan Racing junk co's on my Forte. same spring rate on both cars. the se-r ride is smooth as butta compared to the Forte.

I'm not promoting any coilovers, and I am basing my statements on personal experience.
Good brands hard anodize the bodies or plate them like progress does. Paint or powder coat is not an acceptable finish period. Salt wont affect a proper anodized coating. look and any high end system like penske or moton. In my opinion and based on the multiple sets of teins I have owned over the years, I think they are overpriced junk. Its not slander its my consumer opinion. If I search, I can probably find my posts in fresh alloy, zilvia, nico and other forums from nearly 10 years ago complaining about the poor quality of the tiens I had on S chassis. I have a set of tein camber plates that have been INSIDE in my garage for about 5 years never seeing weather and just natural humidity has turned them into rusty junk. quality is quality period. Find someone running teins on a b13 track car, wont happen.. if you have a weekend track car i have always recommended people get progress coilovers. serious track car get progress coilovers, revalve and add some swift springs and proper upper mounts and they are excellent. Or build some coilovers like many people have done using shortened stock bodies and welded on gc. Or like the custom units I'm building that I dont sell and have only said that if people are interested in them I'm sure fortune would reproduce the ones I'm making for a group buy or something. And I'm only offering that because I love b13s and love to see the community have access to new parts and such. I would not make any money and in fact have invested a lot of personal time and money into making these for myself and one friend who has a pte sentra, with the only personal gain being we will have the best suspension ever developed for a sentra.

ps why are you guys bringing up b14 stuff when the car in question is a b13. Suspension is too different to relate anything.

first set looks good just diry, purple and yellow set has plated bodies that look like new just used a poor coating on the springs, which is not acceptable. and the last thing is due to improper install, maintenance or just a hard riding causing a part failure. A one time part failure like that can happen on anything. look again at the photos i posted, they are 1 million times worse, and that is consistent with the teins I owned.
