I just picked up my new ISF last month and I'm finding the suspension much firmer than I had expected for everyday use.
Do you think that putting in the the Tein Comfort Sport CST coilovers and putting them on a softer setting would solve the problem?
I was told that there's 16 adjustments to the damping force...
Actually the Tein CST at their stiffest setting is softer than OEM's dampening. I'm going to guess your shocks are still at "0" or default stiff.
If I recall correctly Full clockwise is full stiff. Counterclockwise softens. I would start with a 7 front and 6 rear to start...and then work from there. You never want to go past the 16 click mark as that will give you problems.
I don't know about the coilovers, but I put on Tien Springs to lower my car and am surprised as to how much more compliant the ride is. I could only imagine that the coilovers, offering numerous settings, would make the ride even softer when wanted.
the mechanic installed it for me...
rides not hard at all, but you can make it harder by adjusting the shock settings... Tein recommends 8 on the front and 6 on the back...
i don't have problems scraping because I've set it back to stock height...
Any issues so far? Which part did you get? Tein customer service recommended that I get the one made for the IS 350, for a softer ride. I'm thinking of getting a set. Please post some pics as well...
I dunno what everyone is saying how the stiffest setting on the CST is softer then OEM's dampening. I find the stiffest setting stiffer and a much rougher ride then OEM suspension. I've had my CST installed for over a year now.
The website priced it at $1700. The installation cost would differ with each shop.
I'm a Makati boy too, pare!
