TEIN Superstreet Coil overs

Actually, I had plans to upgrade to handling of this car. The only thing I wasn't expecting it to be so soon. The story is like this, on my third day I got this car. I went to Autoglym in Sunway. You wouldn't believe who I bumped into. It's none other than Desmond of N1. He asked about the car and asked whether I can take him for a spin. Before dropping him off at N1. He made me and offer to become a guinea pig for the TEIN suspension for Malaysian market. I thought he was kidding.

A few weeks after that I received an unexpected call from N1. The deal was my car will be used as guinea pig and the shocks is mine for half the price. I took the offer.

The shocks that we are talking here is the same shocks I used on my Evo (TEIN Super street). Since I am used to TEIN set-up, so I was expecting the handling to be good.

The first day, they let me try out the the TEIN progressive sport springs. I don't quite like the ride when using the springs. It was rather bouncy especially when crusing on the highway. It get rather annoying after while cause it felt like riding a horse. Cornering wise, it's much better then the stock as the car felt more planted.

The second day, I tried the coil overs. According to Mr. Sugano of TEIN, he did the set up more for handling rather than comfort. Since it's an adjustable suspension (Soft/Hard). I could always change it to softer whenever I felt like having more comfort. Since I love whacking corners. I'll stick to Mr. Sugano's original set-up.

Surprisingly, the shocks was a lot more comfortable compare to the stock suspension. The car doesn't dive under heavy braking anymore and no more of that dread full under over when taking corners.
