TEIN Suspension
I just got an email from TEIN suspension and they are located at 9798 Firestone Blvd. in
Downey, CA 90241 and here is their phone number (562)861-9161....they are developing a system for the cobalt but are looking for someone to bring an SS to their place so they can make a suspension system for it...just figure i'd let you guys know if anyone wants to take their's there

i just talked to the guys, and they said the only thing you get on your test car is the original prototype suspension. they leave it installed. well that's pretty dumb IMO, they should atleast give the guy a production kit...
i wish whoever does it, with the experimental parts left on, the best of luck lol

hopefully i'll be purchasing an ss in the next month or so, but my car will not come close to tein parking lot. I dispise tein. only place for suspension will be B+G suspension. only suspension setup that will go on my car. either that or H&R.

i've drivin numerious car's with tein, and i was not impressed what so ever. i've drivin, civic's integras is300, rx7's with tein suspension and didn't like n e of them. crappy, bouncy, didnt handle well. and besides any company that can't garauntee their springs froom sagging will not be on my car. only 2 companies garauntee it, thats B+G and H&R, eibach i think changed their stuff so they might be on their list. but i know a few years back they had a problem with sagging also, but i've heard they changed their method of developing springs. so i think their better. but the only 2 manufactures i'll by from are B+G suspension, which they desisn oem springs for european cars, as well as aftermarket, and H&R which are developed purely for performance.

i put a set of h&r springs on my cougar, with a set of the cheapest struts i could find and i was amazed at how well those springs performed... it felt so good i didn't even put new sway bars on it

We'll be really lucky if TEIN makes a susp for our rides, I have only heard amazing things about their setup. 22 way adjustable dampeners being the main reason for the good reviews.
They usually have a large range of adjustability as well.
I would buy it if they made it

With a proper heat treat, no spring should sag. Is there a chance that you were actually seeing the effects of dying dampers?

no new dampers were placed and only took a few months to notice the sag on the springs. if you go to tein's website they garauntee not to sag more than xxx amount. only a few milimeters but still thats enough to hinder performance and possibly cause suspension problems.
yeah I didnt know H&R made oem suspension setups, so that's 2 companies that make oem suspension companies for high end luxury cars. thats good. personally those are the only 2 companies that i would put on my car. B+G being first.

Most aftermarket springs do sag a bit, I had H&R's on my Grand Am and after a summer of driving I measured a total drop of 2 inches. When it should have been only 1.6 inches.
No big deal though I didn't notice any difference in the ride, but I wasn't doing Auto-x or anything.
