I'm excited to announce that thejdm is now updated to the latest phpbb 3.2 software. You may notice the site is now mobile friendly but with the upgrade comes some hiccups. theGarage, theGallery, theArcade are no longer supported. In due time the developers should be working to release the modifications to work on the new software. #LetsMakeForumsGreatAgain

TEIN HE

Post by KOUKIMONSTER » April 06, 2004

I have TEIN HE's and am looking for someone who could give me information on how theres is set up. Mine rides o.k. now, but could be fine tuned more. Anyone with experience using these on S13?

Do you mean the ride height or damping adjustment, Brandon?

well both actually matt, Im unsure what is the "perfect set up" if there is any. I want to lower my car another 1/4" and adjust the damping adjustment to a more balanced set up. I dont believe that we set any of them even and just think it needs to be more balanced.

I don't remember touching the damper settings at all, but the damper part won't be hard. The only part of all that you just mentioned that would suck is lowering it just another 1/4" what with all of the labor involved. If I tore into it again I would slam it, since the way the HEs are set up you can slam it without affecting shock travel. :blang:

well yes, but I dont want the slammed look personally. Maybe Ill keep it the way it is, and just set the damper stiffness.
