Application notes

Vehicle applications and ride-height settings

Height changes are relative to original equipment ride height: negative values mean lowering and positive values mean raising. Use the recommended range for your exact vehicle. The maximum adjustment range describes mechanical travel and is not a recommended operating setting. Actual height varies with vehicle condition and equipment.

Choosing a note here does not change the kit in your basket or confirm fitment. Check every condition in the relevant application.

Need anything else?

Controllers, mounts and cancellation modules depend on the kit and the car. We’ll check the part numbers and anything else needed before you order.

EDFC needs a controller and the correct motor kit. Some applications need further parts or cannot use EDFC. Check TEIN’s application search.

Damping adjustment

Damping controls how quickly the suspension moves. A combined control changes compression and rebound together. Separate controls let you adjust them independently. More controls mean more setup choices; they do not guarantee a better ride.

Read the illustrated guide

Spring rates

A spring-rate pair normally lists front, then rear. Keep the unit shown on the kit specification: kgf/mm (often written kg/mm) and N/mm are different units. The right rate depends on the car and setup. Ask us before choosing a custom rate or changing springs.

Read the illustrated guide

Top mounts

Some kits reuse the original mounts; others include rubber or pillowball mounts. Camber adjustment depends on the mount and suspension layout. Check the exact configuration rather than assuming the representative photograph shows every included part.

Read the illustrated guide

Electronic / adaptive dampers

If your car has factory electronic damping, tell us before ordering. The kit may retain that function, require an additional compatible cancellation solution, or have a specific exclusion. The correct answer depends on the vehicle and exact kit.

Ride height and installation

Lowering ranges and required parts vary by application. Read the kit notes and use a qualified installer. Changes to ride height affect alignment, so ask your installer to check the setup after installation.
