Tein coilovers shoot out for IX - 2006 from Japan *56k warning*
Now dont say I dont look after you guys.

I picked this up in Japan this year. It's a 2006 Tein coilover comparison for the IX (and STi) published by Tein. In Japanese.

It's a collection of numerous independent reviews from some of the top car magazines in Japan - revspeed, carboy etc....

thanks so much, 5 mins ago I was search for "mono flex" b/c this is my top choice for coilover, and I couldn't find any review, thanks for the scan, I just copy all the review for evo's mono flex so I can read about the comments, thanks!

sweet....I just had a set of Tein Super Street's (the new ones w/ pillow ball tops for IX etc) and they are AWESOME, i have to say, truly a massive improvement over my previous MR Bilsteins, and THAT is saying something.

I kept it to a sensible drop so as not to bugger the handling; in fact, handling is actually dramatically improved.

Do the pillowball mounts make the ride really stiff?
