A. Upper Mount
Pillow ball upper mount, which suppresses the compliance, is designed for each vehicle applications, for realization of direct driving feel and handling incomparable with the original one. Camber adjustable pillow ball upper mount is used for front strut type suspension.
B. Mono-Tube Structure
For fine control of the machine and aggressive yet detailed communication with the road surface. Use of mono-tube generates linear damping force, which reacts to even a tiniest input from road surface, and stable damping force, which can be well maintained even for intensive circuit run.
C. Full-Length Ride Height Adjustment System
Full-length adjustment system with the use of movable lower bracket allows for separate adjustment of ride height and pre-load. Bump-to-rebump stroke ratio from 1G would not be affected if ride height is adjusted only by the use of lower bracket.
D. 16-level Damping Force Adjustment Feature (Compression&Rebound Together)
Equipped with 16-level separate adjustment feature for finer setting capabilities, to meet wide varieties of conditions, speeds, etc.
E. Micro Speed Valve
With newly developed M.S.V. system, required damping force in very low speed range can be well maintained for better stability, improving steering response, road tractability and/or traction performance.
F. Rust-Proofing on Threads
All threading parts on shell cases are coated with specially formulated Fluorine, for outstanding rust protection as well as for smoother ride height adjustment. Electroless nickel coating combined with powder coating is applied to lower brackets.
G. Complete Kit
Shock absorbers, springs and pillow ball upper mounts come in 'complete kit' to assure correct settings.
H. Spring
Straight spring, made of no-sagging, high-tensile steel with tensile strength of 200kgf/mm2(1960N/mm2).
I. Conical Spring washer
Conical spring washer is inserted between a bracket lock and a lower bracket, to effectively prevent loosening of a bracket lock, under various conditions.

MSRP 2140.00

What are the Spring Rates for these ( 10/8 )?

MSRP 2140.00 Shipped!

The spring rate on them is 10K and 7K.
You can go up or down 2K with the springs with out having to re-valve the struts. If you do go higher then that, Tein has a USA rebuild facility, so it would only be a week or two to get it done.

The difference between these and the zero2r is:
16way adj. compared to the zero2r 5way.
A mono-tube design.
Teflon coating, so they will be better for daily driving debris/ rust / corrosion protection.
Micro Speed Valves.
A bit more street friendly, and yet can be turned up to be track monsters.

And the biggest thing...they are green :D

How will these compare in performance, shock life and comfort versus the Tein Flex?

They are a step up from the normal Flex coilovers. So the ride will be a little stiffer. The shock life will be the same as the Flex's as well, if not a little longer sense they are a Mono Tube design.

On average how long do the teins last before they need a rebuild?

It all depends on how you drive on them. If you do like 10 track days a season, with daily driving, and autoX they will last about 2-3 years. It also depends on how bad the roads are around where you live, it also depends on what settings you have them on. If they are on full stiff all the time, they will not last as long as if they where on the soft settings. Ive seen them go for 4 years before they needed to be rebuilt.

At GT live they performed just as good as the top of the line double adjustable coilovers! Great Performance at a even better price!
