Awesome write up

 

Big thanks for this DIY when I did the install of my Raceland Coilovers yesterday.

Great write up!

 

sweet

 

Ok I have raceland c/o's and I was directed to this DIY for install procedure. It all looks pretty cut and dry but I have a custom box for my audio set up where my spare used to be. Will that affect my instalation of the rear c/o's? If so what can I do without messing with my audio set up..? thanks to anyone who offers the tips and help!

 

Sweet im going to use this for my Racelands this weekend or next.

 

Well you have to remove the rear interior panels so if you have audio equipment that is in the back area you will have to either move it out of the way, or remove it temporarily to do the install

 

Can't you just pull out your box or whatever you have in there to do the install... it shouldn't be too hard?

 

nice write up bro.. i feel like i can do this on my own lol.... now, the parts that u take from the OEM shocks and struts and use them with the coilovers... does the same applies with any coilover kit... or jst tein?

 

Honestly cant say for sure, as I have not had much experience with any of the other coilovers out there. Also the use of the stock parts on the Teins does not apply to the SS-P model

 

What about offsets? Looking to buy tein basics and 18" rims. Anybody have any suggestions?

 

I just had tein ssp installed by a shop here in Springfield,Mo at the end of the install they had "extra" parts which automatically worried me now I've got a vibration coming from the rear and I've got a feeling I need those parts they are gold disc looking things that go on the rear coilovers I've got two of them "extra" anyone know what they are for or what they do and this will fix my issue?

 

Do you have pictures of the "extra pieces"? There should not be any pieces left over. The install for the SSP's is really easy and straight forward, you pull out your entire old shocks and struts, and install the SSP's. You dont swap any of the factory pieces over to the SSP's. Hopefully they did not try and put your stock hats on the Tein SSP coilovers.....

 

Yeah i just got some pictures of them sorry it took for the reply i generally use scion life on my iphone and couldnt figure out how to post pictures from the mobile version but anyway back on topic the extra pieces are actually silver i had gotten to thinking they were gold just looking at other pictures of tein coilovers but they are not i have a feeling that these are the top pieces to the rear coilovers and that the dumb guy used the stock rear tops but heres the picture i hope that someone can help before i spend 100s in the shop tomorrow trying to get it all figured out.

 

Those pieces are not for the rears, those are from the fronts....not sure what they did, but from what you are saying and those pictures, I would say its not right

Yeah I got to looking at other DIY and thought they looked like they belong on the front I'm going to go get all the tools I need today and put those on the front were they go it appears that my coilovers are identical to yours just more adjustability and what tool should I use to tighten ecerything to the appropriate torque

 

I appreciate the help and good advice i took them off today and put those pieces on and took the stock ones off car performsn like a different car now great diy

 

Hey great write up! this will help me so much come tuesday! my question is, when you say "13 looked good", is that like 13 mm from the bottom to the first locking nut? and how much is this drop? about 1.5 inches?

 

Hey in picture 36, what is the gold ring on the top used for? I just purchased coils and i only have one ring. I am having trouble finding my size in the metal, i can find rubber ones, can u use those instead????
