Any Tein or H&R folks with problems or squeaks?
I'm interested in Tein's Basic Damper (not the SS) and also H&R coils. Does anyone have any clearance issues with the H&R solution (with stock C32 rims)? What about Tein problems? I've heard they squeak or something.
My alternative is KW Variant 1's but I'm open to other ideas!
Thanks

13 Wheel offset critical; Spacers may be required when the standard wheel / tire combination is used.
I know it was a long time ago but do you remember if you needed any spacers?

i have H&R coilovers. ran a long time with them on stock wheels, no problems. car could go very low, no squeaks so far (knock on wood). the only thing squeaky is my driver's seat... 
. but for the purposes of the c32, the H&R coilovers are pretty good. there are better options like Carlsson RS, but for the price and intentions of the c32, you probably won't regret going with H&R's. btw, i ran fine without spacers.

I had this same conversation with my tech yesterday. The one's that he's had problems with in the past were resolved by putting lithium grease on the spring pad and spring. The KW's are installed a little differently than your Tein's being that your adjuster is on the bottom versus mine, which is on top, but it's worth a shot.
I've done it once already but unforunately used WD40. That worked for a while until it rained and washed it away. Needless to say I'm going to try the grease sometime in the near future because it's not getting any better.
