We recently fitted the Super Street and there is a huge difference in the handling and movment of the car.
I would grade them 8/10 we also fitted EDFC so we can adjust the ride to suit

thanks for the reply,im going to swear now,lol the car is actually a e36 m3!!!!!! thought id come over here as its mainly eibach and bilstein on the bms.but i can get these teins for nearly half the price of pss9 are they half the kit.i had eibach coilovers on another m3 and they rode very nice with no knocking,but no adj damping,do the teins knock at all and would this kit be considered budget?
cheers

yes they are a little bit more expensive for the scoob , I think we paid £825 new and then the EDFC also. I have only had then on for 3 months so wouldn't know myslef about the rust but came highly recommended to me.

And as for materials used , don't know sorry.

You could have a look on

a mate of mine has got the tein on his and they work good but do not ride well at low speed i have pss9 they are now good after spending extra on the springs i think the best option would be the ast kit from powerstation fully fitted and set up about 1100 +vat (best ring them to make sure) but when it comes to handling power station rule there are loads of threads on here about the ast kit and power station in tewkesbury best of luck matey
