Just did Tein Springs on my 06 TS...

[Valor79]

Not a bad idea If i do it skillful enough the slope will be less steep and I'll be set back about 1 cement truck, wonder how much will that cost me

[Speeddemon]

mine?...i didn't say that i drive a TS, did i?....or were u referring to someone else and clicked on my post by mistake?

[Atlantis_boi]

I believe its not old tyres your friends might be referring to....its run-in or scrubbed tyres....if i'm not wrong, most track/slick tyres require a scrub-in period before you are able to extract full performance from the tyres....check with your tyre supplier....they'll probably be able to advise you whats the scrub-in period or mileage for the tyres you purchase....

 

Do u mean the run-in period for the tires b4 attempting any hard driving?

[Atlantis_boi]

i just changed a new pair of Michelin pilot precedas for the front today... dunno much bout tyres, the shop recommend me de

 

but it looks more promising than the previous dunlop lemans.. ?

 

Hmm..Ok. How much is per pc?

[Speeddemon]

yupyup

 

Sorry ah....dun mean to post one liner....

[Chemz]

eunos crescent mscp? the one behind e eunos mrt one issit? newly built unit?

heh i'm aiming the block of flats there.. living just right on the other side of the mrt track.. everyday see the mscp like quite empty liddat.. quite tempted to go there n wash car

[Valor79]

Cannot wash anymore... some idiots keep flooding the carwash bay area [:|]by leaving the tap on so now HDB come and remove the whole tap so angry with those idiots I use to happy happy throw pails of water all over my ride to keep it nice and clean now got to go carwash.

I scrape my V-Lip everyday at Eunos Crescent MSCP, becoming a daily hobby

hobby? well.... this type of hobby, no good.

[Manutd1972]

bro, you're scraping your front lip 'cos of various reasons.

 

firstly, the lip adds inches to your front bumper, thereby reducing the ground clearance at the front.

 

secondly, your Tein springs maybe lowered your car a little bit, further reducing its ground clearance.

 

lastly, and most importantly, the MY06 TS has a long front overhang so even in its stock trim, there're a few slopes that it'll not clear without some very careful driving. one of them being the carpark entrance/exit at Bugis Junction.

...and first thing when descend my MSCP kana my front lower V-lip heartpain can hear the scraping sounds against the floor & fibreglass. When I come out look, from the front all seems ok only when I feel underneath all the matt black paint all scraping off The height I seen for most Rex also the same and some even lower so do u bros out there face the same problem for your cars after using aftermarket springs? Any advice, TY in advance!

 

 

 

 

Mine oso scrape MSCP with my V-lip. juz install & never tot it will scrape the floor

was using with APEX lowering spring & 17 incher..

 

Previous ride was even lower but never scrape floor,....

Looks nicer after u lowered ur ride I bet handling has been improved too.

[Somebody]

fwah! one finger space... doesn't that mean the "travel" of your springs is very little. wouldn't that make the ride pretty harsh?

 

looks real good thou...

There are some without any finger spacing

[Spoonsports]

that for sure. i can do high speed cornering w/o having the throw side way feeling....

[Spoonsports]

the lowering of the ride doesnt compress the spring. only that it can adjust the height of the spring.

 

if compare to stock setup, it more stiff but you can set the damping stiffness to your preference. so far i'm very happy with my new toy. NO regret
