I wanted to purchase the tein ha coilovers for my s13 hatch and i was wondering if any of you guys used them or heard anything good about it? Some say they are real good for starting out on the not so aggressive side but im wondering if itll clear my wheel set up. 18x9.0+20 front with 225 tires and my rear is 18x10.0+18 with 235 tires. yeah i know pretty big i thought i start it off that way.

HA's are alright but they've been around for ages. Chances are the coilovers you're getting are pretty beat, but that doesn't mean you can't have some fun.


Most coilovers will clear a 9 inch wide wheel if the offset is less than ~23-25, but keep in mind you'll be cutting it close. +20 should be fine as long as you aren't running wider than 225's on front.

They aren't droop/ride height adjustable. So wheel fitment goes out the window.

Look elsewhere. Check out Stance/KTS/MAX. Any of those would be fine choices.

yeah im waiting for my quote on stance from kyle....wtf kyle! squidd you need to talk to your boy. i checked out the ha's tid bit of rust no bends. 400.00 bucks aint so bad either something i can start off with for now because what i have is dangerous(stock busted shocks with springs from the current owner.) my car feels like a boat waiting to sink.Everyday im careful how i drive because of it.

Call Kyle you bish. Shiz. Fluk!

9 +20 is either NOT gonna fit or be so close you'll rub tire on your springs.

I had 1mm coil over (silkroad) clearance on 17x9 +17, you may be cutting it close depending on your coil overs.

18x10 +18 you can clear easy with a couple degrees of camber. That's kid stuff! Get the wheels, get the Stance, bring it all to my house and we'll make that shit flush as hell.

youre definitely gonna need a 5mm spacer atleast up front to clear your coilovers... +15 will barely clear it on an 18x9...
