help! help! with my tein set-up

[Babalouie]

Did yours come with the green Tein top mounts? Are are you using the oem ones?

In my case (I have the Tein top mounts), the lower spring adjuster collar is 25mm away from the bottom of the threaded sleeve on the shock (not the bottom of the threads, but the bottom of the sleeve).

This will get you a ride height of about 320mm from the centre of the wheel to the wheelarch lip...or about 10(ish)cm of ground clearance. As you adjust the spring height, keep in mind that for every 10mm ride height change at the wheel, you need 14mm change of height at the spring...

Also any coilover shop c-spanner will work to adjust the Teins, just go see your friendly race suspension shop.

Set the damping at 8 clicks from hard front and rear, that's a pretty good compromise. As for alignment, I think most guys would advise you as follows:

Front: zero toe, 1 degree camber, 5 degrees castor.
Rear: 3mm toe in, 1.5 degrees camber.

They recommend 23mm up from the lip just below the thread to the bottom of the lower spring seat lock (front and rear) on the NA6/8

I had a mate get a set cut for him, he asked around and found a few people who wanted a set so they turned out quite cheap.

I think the manual states not to go past 16 clicks or you'll wreck em.
