TEIN Suspension & 300-C

[teahead]

Strange, but why would Tein have model-specific shocks/struts while KW doesn't?

Diff. between the LXs are pretty minor. Sure the Charger's OEM's springs are a bit stiffer, but aren't these shocks 12-way adjustable? To compensate?

Odd. I wouldn't hesitate to install them on a 300c. However, I already spent too much coin on these KWs. Will have to wait until they wear out some.

Exactly what Teahead said.

Even more so... the springs are replaced with this system, so what difference are they considering? Will Tein actually offer different systems for the 300 than the Charger? I find that hard to imagine.

I just wish that these were available a few months ago when I bought my KW's.

I miss an adjustable suspension.

There's plenty of them for you if you're coming to the Spring Festival!

Wish I could but I live in Viriginia. I'd love to see all these 300's read about on here...

Well just getting home from SF of LX's... and Bruno took my car for a test drive. I will let Bruno inform you about it.

I arrived home from the Spring Festival around 1:30 p.m. Noid, I have to thank you soooo much for letting me take your Charger out for a spin last night. Your car alone with all its special systems is simply incredible.

For Clean300C...The TEIN suspension on Noid's Charger. I was very impressed with the location of his EDFC inside the center console. The unit is even smaller than how it looks in his photos. The best part about driving Noid's Charger was being able to adjust the dampening on the fly. I had fun with that, constantly changing it as I drove over some smooth and bumpy surfaces. The buttons are handy to reach inside the console and the choices are soft, medium, and firm. A light tone also sounds to confirm the change has been activated. I preferred the tight ride.

I can't answer why the same Charger kit supposedly can't be used on the 300. I just wish TEIN would come up with the 300 kit ASAP! There will not be any hesitation from me once it's available. I would have easily gone with the KW v.2 suspension kit but I wanted one that could be easily manipulated like the TEIN.

Anyway, hope this helps!

I agree with you, Noid! A Spring Festival blast it was! I need to stop napping so I can upload pics. I didn't want it to be over. The wedding was really was so appropriate for the occasion as well. I'd be happy to meet up again, especially if I'm able to get a set of those TEINs for my 300c. It would be worth the drive whenever the complete suspension is available.
I only ended up bringing one box of Chocodiles home. All the rest were given away or eaten. What a weekend!

I gave away another 7 boxes this morning for the track guys... I have vvv 4 boxes as well...

Any news from Tein on how much longer?
Not that it matters much to me now, but will the electronics of the Tein system ONLY work w/ the Tein coilovers? Or is that piece of the system compatible w/ KWv2? Just curious.
