I have just been washing my 02 STI and have noticed that it has Tein Struts. The car handles great but are Tein struts any good and would I have to inform my insurance. How would I know what type of strut they are ie, coilovers etc.

Don't have a clue guys simply drive the thing.

Cheers

 

Look under the bonnet for top mounts, if there are four allen screws holding the strut in they are adjustable, there will also be a rubber cover over the adjusting screw that alters the damping. Underneath if the spring sits on a pair of locking rings, then they are height adjustable to.

Best to advise the insurance just in case....
