[Mk2] [Generic] Tein H/A coilovers - Service them or go stock with springs?

Post by draz1k »

I have a set of Tein HA coilovers, but they have recently faild an MOT due to fluid leaking out the shock.. My question is would it be better to got an get some rev3 stock suspension and springs or send these off to Tein?

I have done a few seraches and they dont seem to have a positive feedback from other users on IMOC (Tein) taking weeks to service them and charging £500 ish ?

What would you do?

I don't know what the ride would be like on stock suspension but at that price I'd be looking at replacing them rather than renewing them.

I think I remember James at the 3S Service Centre telling me that the BC coilovers cost a lot less to service, so if I was to replace my Teins I'd definitely consider those.

I have no experience of what the car handles like stock vs Tein vs BC though.

Cheers,
Kingsley.
