Who wants TEIN?

Who wants TEIN?

I spent a bit on the phone today with a Tein rep...

if all goes well, we will have Tein springs + coilover packages for the 93-97 Corollas + Prizms... I'm busting my ass to work this out, so if this goes through I hope people will shell out the cash for them... I'd hate to get this all sorted then they can't sell the damn things.

There were Tein HA dampeners out a yr ago and nobody brought them then.

I'm 99% sure we'll be able to get the Type Flex suspension for the 93-97 Corolla... A bit more expensive than the HA... This is probably going to be a $1500 suspension.

i want it but no money

Flex? c'mon man not even people with wrx like spending the money on flex unless they're hardcore racers.. now super street might sell.. but might have better luck with BASIC.

Right now all i want is some adjustable struts like Kyb AGX or Tok illumina.. but prolly ahve to settle for koni

i want tein basics or SS

I'd have to agree with the Basic or SS

HA been discontinued a yr ago.

im buying the Tein HA coilovers with optional camber plates (whenever I get money)

I just sent them an E-mail inquiring about the SS for the 93-97. I want the SS for my ride. If they don't make them, guess I will have to go with the next level down.

i already have over 1200 in mine (retail)..

E-mail response from Tein:

Travis,
Looking at the TEIN Japan catalog it seems they have products for
the
92-95 Corolla. These are Japanese spec cars but if you can find out if
you
cars chassis code is either AE101 or AE111 then we would be able to
special
order a Type Flex for you.
Best regards,
Sales

What do you guys think? This should work right?

Yeah, on a Xa...I think that I would have spent my money more wisely. Trust me, I have learned that.

just tell them that AE100 chassis in asia = AE101 and AE102 in north america than it'll be much easier for them

I paid $1560 shipped for my JIC FLT A2's...

Your chassis code should be AE101 if you have an 93-97 so they should work just fine.

not all AE101 and AE111 are same as US AE101 and 102... cuz some Corolla Levins and Trueno came w/ the Super Strut suspension setup and thats y TRD japan hav it seperate w/ the normal corolla suspension setup and super struts setup...

can't deny it handles like a dream, and is just gonna get better! hotchkis sways and a couple stiffer lower tie bars, some spacers in the rear, and i'll be done

i've been looking into it, and it seems AE100/101/102/111 aftermarket struts and springs all use the same part numbers...

ae101 corolla FX sedan also had super strut and dual piston calipers

Tein already makes Type Flex coilovers for the 93-02 corolla. All you need to do is call them up, give them your credit card number and wait for them to ship them over from Japan. For those not wanting the Type Flex can also get the HA Dampers, you just have to go through the same process.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Sweet, I guess I will be going with the Flex's then.

Small problem...The HA Dampers were discontinued.

You really think all the HA Dampers were purchased by rolla owners??? Think not... I can order a set with a simple phone call to Tein.

Really, I think I might have to think about that too. That's what I originally going to get.

the FLEX's are awesome.... my cousin has those in his STI... of course thats not it, but you kno... the ride is perfect... everything about it rocks... his setup is tein flex's, EDFC, and cusco sway bars... its awesome...

the ae101 also pertains to the 2dr corolla Levins.. unless its the same susp geometry as the sedan, i would be concerened about fitment.

Just an update lol i called tein today and said that they have no more in the US and no more in Japan for the type HAs for the AE100 I was going to purchase them for myself he said they had one set in stock for about a year and finally sold the last one in may of 04
