TEIN Super Street Suspension

Couple weeks ago a set of Skunk2 Pro S II coilovers were installed on the 2010 Honda Civic Si. Today the same car came back to have the Skunk2 coilovers replaced for a set of TEIN Super Street dampers.

Stability, comfort and control of the vehicle is now discovered from the newly installed TEIN Super Street. This was some how completely lost when Skunk2 developed the Pro S dampers.

TEIN Super Street damper kit was designed for drivers seeking improved handling on the street and at the track. A shortened shell case is utilized to allow the most piston stroke possible, which allows for a better ride at lowered ride heights, and increased grip at the track. Great for daily driving and occasion track use, whether it be at the drag strip, local circuit, or Auto-X course. Includes both ride height and damping force adjustment to allow the driver to dial in the suspension for various surface conditions.

The superior suspension setup consisting of Koni Yellows with Eibach springs were taken out of the Integrale Evo a couple nights ago, from the car to it’s final resting place, the trash bin. For it’s replacement the Evo was given a brand new set of custom made 24-way adjustable bound and rebound Leda coilovers paired to some Eibach springs.

Because spending money on expensive pretty lug nuts are a must, extended studs were installed to the front and rear hubs, replacing the traditional European concept of using wheel bolts.
