Tein HR suspension info? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

s14xman · 12-28-2006, 08:52 PM

i recently purchased some tein HR's from a friend and i am having trouble finding info on them. They have adjustable pillow mounts and helper springs and such, i'll get a pic up if you guys need. But i want to know spring rates and how good they are if at all.
my searches:
zilvia: no matches for "tein HR", "HR suspension", "hr coilovers"
Google: "tein hr"- just boneheads from carforums saying they don't exist.
tein usa website: no info (japan only)
Tein japan web: hard to navigate but no info
thanx in advance for your help!

Yeah..HR is not damper adjustable.

My friend daily and track his HR for 3-4 years now. So far it's still holding up good. Good coilovers for daily and track on the weekends.

i got em, my fronts are slammed but its still too tall 4 me, so ima take the helpers off,
overall its like a upgraded tein basic with all the mounts of a flex. i think its 5-6k spring rate, but im not totally sure

I had HR's on my S13 a couple years back. One of them finally blew, so I sent it back to TEIN for a rebuild. Took 3 months to rebuild. The tech told me they stopped making the HR in the late 90's and it was a Japan only model.

Hense what took so long, they had to send the damper to Japan to have the techs over there fix it.

Probably the biggest waste of time and money, because as soon as I got it back went out and two days later the opposite side blew. I sold them with a blown damper for $500. I guess even still they hold value for some reason...

HR coil overs are not full length adjustable. If you want to lower your car more you will have to deal with no pre-load on the springs. Which is bad for the dampers.
