Tein HA suspension

[Bathurst]

Anyone got the above suspension fitted to their FD?

I\'ve got a set ready to fit to mine virtually brand new (although now replaced by Tein Flex) and wanted to know how hard the ride is.

I believe its 16 way adjustable. Can it be adjusted to the stock settings for long journeys and then set harder for a track day?


Thanks
Tariq.

I have got this, and I think even the softest setting is harder than a stock FD. You can adjust them really hard, though.

I set mine to the 2nd hardest setting to take part in an Autosol, and I won the day with that setting, despite an "expert", Chris Wilson, telling me they were rubbish.

Thanks Martin,

How much firmer over stock suspension are they...? Can you use the softest setting for daily driving without too much of a jarring/choppy ride?

Is your car lower than stock ride height? If so how do you deal with driving over bumps, etc when driving around town.

Tariq, it is still relatively soft when its on it softest setting. Yes the car is lowered a little. Traffic humps and the like, I try and take at 45 degrees! Mind you my driveway entrance is quite high and I only scrape there if I have a load.

I thought you had sold your FD?

Thanks....no bought a new family car instead then got the FD tuned at RE:Worx, new car feeling again. Bought new Volk Racing alloys, now suspension to go on soon, smiles all round (well for me)  

Oh and my daughter can now fit in the back seat of my FD so can be used for reasonable length of journeys.

Tariq,

I\'ve also got Tein HA\'s fitted to mine.On the softest setting the ride is comparable to stock,maybe a little firmer but there\'s not much in it.The profile of tyre your running will make quite a bit of difference to the ride quality as well.

Mainly used mine on track though over the last 3 1/2 years,16 clicks of adjustment and I\'ve been really impressed with them,highly recomended.
