The tail pipes don't match Tib ones... that's my only gripe haha. Otherwise would be sweet.

 

[shark tales]

i def agree i pointed that out right away

 

[06tiburonofdoom]

Nice! With some proper exhaust tips, I just might rock something like that. Haha

working on wfc to get these stickers made

haha i'm still trying to make sense of why the exhaust looks like that. oh well. i'll be getting one, even though it's not my gen

 

[duds03tibby]

I can't wait!....

I am thinkin CF hood instead of Eyelines/F/L lights... Just because i can get one for $250

 

[06tiburonofdoom]

Eww, I hate Tein... Haha To each their own, though! Hopefully you can get ahold of some before too long!

Oh, and I guess I won exterior of the year and photographer of the year! Not too shabby, I suppose.

Hmmm, I don't know. I'd still do the headlights and eyelines, probably. But that's damn cheap for a hood! If it's a good quality hood, then I don't see why not.

Oh no? bad experience? lol
and no not too shabby at all

Haha, I had no idea, either! I was going through all of the polls, casting my votes, then I saw my name on the photography poll. :3_smiliec
If I had known that there was such a category, I would've posted actual "photography" pictures, but I guess I didn't need to.
And thanks!

Haha, no bad experience, I've just always been completely against them. They're just really over-priced for a coilover that's no better than the others. And it's a 2-piece! You can't have any fun with a 2-piece coilover. At least that's my view on them. Way over-rated and over-priced for what they are. But for people that just wanna put them on and drive, there's nothing wrong with them.

Ahh ayt i gotcha...I dnt know the difference between a two piece vs 1? but ya
Your running ARK coils right?

 

[duds03tibby]

Megan for cheap but good product... Ark for excellent product... Thats what i would do for new coilovers...

 

[06tiburonofdoom]

Well, with a 2-piece, you don't have separate control over the preload and ride height, while with a 3-piece, you can independently adjust each one to suit your needs.
And yeah, I'm on ARKs and love them!

ahh ok, but you can still adjust the stiffnes of the ride though and camber with the Super Street tiens, isnt that like dealing with preload? I dnt know? im bad with this stuff, i just know the basics =P

Yeah, you can adjust dampening and front camber, but the preload is a little different than that.
Preload is pretty self-explanatory when you think about it. It's the amount of load on the spring before there's actually a load on it, meaning when the car is off of the ground, basically. It's just more control for the stiffness and rebound characteristics of it and such. You can basically make the spring as loose or tight as you want with a 3-piece.
Dampening is basically just dealing with the firmness of the ride and helping with body roll characteristics, and the front camber plates just adjust the angle of the wheels towards or away from the center of the car. Keep in mind that a couple of degrees or so of negative camber can be quite helpful for cornering abilities, because it can help with turn in and keeping your tire in contact with the ground during hard cornering.

the bottom collar that connects to the suspension knuckle on the DT-P's controls the ride height as you an slide it up and down the strut body. then a set of collars allows you to tighten the spring against the top hat.

The teins have the mounting bracket welded in on one place, so you have to rely purely on spring pre-load, which as you raise or lower the car, changes the dynamics of the suspension dampening and resistance to movement, along with the distance of movement also.
