Paul K Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 Following on from a FB discussion, is anybody other than Andy Muxlow running Tein S springs on a roadster as apparently it's a case of "computer says NO" according to the Tein website Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul K Posted September 8, 2016 Author Share Posted September 8, 2016 I know mate. But there is currently much discussion on FB about it Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydnH Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 Pretty sure there's no difference between the roadster and coupe suspension, the MeisterR ones fit both as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stutopia Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 If you're worried, buy them online, then you can always return them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul K Posted September 9, 2016 Author Share Posted September 9, 2016 Personally I'm not. Likely to go for the Tein S but someone else on here was a bit concerned Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMANALEX Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 Tein S springs listed for the 350 coupe will be fine on the 350 Roadster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul K Posted September 9, 2016 Author Share Posted September 9, 2016 Cheers Alex. I hope Martin (rs200) sees this, as it was his concerns Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rs2oo Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 Phoned Demon Tweeks and they said no. Many sellers look at the manufactures guidelines and they say no. From what I understand, the mounting points are the same and its possibly that the weight is greater in the Roadster ? not huge but perhaps that's it ? Are the original springs the same on the Coupe as the Roadster ? PS Paul, its Rs2oo.......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 They'll be absolutely fine. DT have no idea, they're reading from a catalogue. I'd go with the reality of someone actually running them over a computer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rs2oo Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Springs fitted. Was a struggle for the fronts as it was for Andy's (nismoandy). The ride has not suffered at all. I will now take the car to Elite in Essex to get a full laser wheel alignment. And two new back tyres. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul K Posted September 21, 2016 Author Share Posted September 21, 2016 Take it to Kaizers in Rochester. Superb laser alignment gizmo Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy_Muxlow Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 How are you getting on with the new springs then chap? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rs2oo Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 How are you getting on with the new springs then chap? Very pleased ........... dropped the car just enough without ruining the ride quality. Had the wheels refurbished in dark Anthracite too so car now looks the nuts. Allan at The Meopham Toyota Centre did a great job fitting them. I'm booked in on Saturday to have the tracking and cambers done - Chequered Flag in Strood have some of the latest laser equipment and charge just £45. Result !
