Tein have been around for a long time now mainly manufacturing suspension products for Japanese cars.

Due to demand for a low cost Coilover kit mainly for road use with height and damping adjustement, Tein
have developed two types of kits to supply this market.

Tein have also altered their coatings giving better anti corrosion for cars that are used all year round making
them alot more durable than other low cost kits currently on the market.

The two kits that are available are:

1) TEIN Street Basis Z - height adjustable - http://www.tein.co.uk/product/street_ad ... sis_z.html
2) TEIN Street Advance Z - Damping and height adjustable - http://www.tein.co.uk/product/street_ad ... sis_z.html

Both kits can lower your EP3 by:

Front - 35mm to 90mm lower than standard
Rear - 39mm to 120mm lower than standard

These are perfect if the 30mm lowering springs are not low enough and / or your original shockabsorbers are tired too.

The cost for the two kits are:

1) TEIN Street Basis Z - £420 inc vat
2) TEIN Street Advance Z - £504 inc vat

If you are looking for more of a track setup with Damping and Height adjustment then you may like:

3) TEIN Flex Z - £1020 inc vat - http://www.tein.co.uk/product/flex_z.html
