Spring Seat Question
Tuesday, February 27, 2007 9:22 PM
Plan on changing my susp. on my 96 sedan to tein basic. I am aware that I have to use 00+ strut mounts. However I am confused about the spring seat (Have no clue what it is). Do I use 96 spring seats or 00+ spring seats. I searched the forum and i'm still unsure. Can someone please clarify this for me. Thanx!

My official take. Scrap the Basics and save the extra $400.00 for the Tein SS's. For the additional money you get solid mounts all around. Camber plates for the front of our cars custom built usually run around $300.00 a set and no one makes solid mounts for the rear. The tein comes with front solid pillow ball mounts with camber adjustment and the rears are solid plates.

You also get adjustibility. Basics are not fun to ride on pure and simple they are too stiff of a setting IMO for daily driving, and only good for track days or if you live in an area with exceptionally well maintaned roads (reads flat concrete nirvana).

While the SS may not give you the comfort of a stock suspension, on lower settings it will have much better manners for daily driving than the Basics and you won't have to experience Buyers remorse.

Other things to think about, with a stiffer suspension and stock mounts its not a matter of if but when the stock mounts will start to go out. I've already killed one of my front mounts from just 2 seasons of autcrossing. With the teins you'll never have to replace them.

for the record if you decide to stick with the basics its best to just do everything 00+ for ease.
