Are the tein he and tein ha coilovers very simalar? Somehow i only ended up with the of my tein he's. This leaves me with only one for the front. I found a good deal on a front pair of tein has that one of them is blown. Would it be a bad idea to use one tein he and one tein ha onthe front of my car? Are the spring reights that different that it would make a huge difference? Also how much does it cost to send a coilover back to tein to have them rebuild it? Thanks and sorry if this is a stupid ass question i just wasn't exactly sure.

i know for fc's the tein ha and he have the same spring rate. so i am assuming they have the same rates for nissan as well

The HA are not fully adjustable ride height like the Basic and SS. Other then the dampening goes The HE are fully adjustable and 16-way adjustable . HE is a better choice if your debating between the two.

friend had HEs - height and dampening adjust. dunno about HAs but HE for sure is both.

If you have questions about tein coilovers, you might want to try contacting tein. Should be pretty accurate on the info there.

They have different spring rates IIRC. I wouldn't run two different coilovers though. Bad Idea.....unless you just plan on making it low and not driving it.

I have a set of HA's on my S13. Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't they just HE's minus the rust issue? They feel great though.

My questions was would i be able to run one tein he and one tein ha on the front of my car together, somehow i only ended up with one front tein he and they dont make them anymore and i cant find just one for sale but i can get a good deal on two tein ha coilovers. However the one is blown so i am wondering if it would alright to run the one he and the one ha both ont he front together and if not how much it would run me to get the blown ha fixed?

well it looks by fromt he link that apex posted that it would cost me 100 bucks to get the blown tein ha coilover overhauled which i guess is not too bad of a price. But im still wondering if i can use the HE and the Ha together ont he front of my car?

I wouldn't mix them unless someone from Tein tells you that the HA is just a repainted HE. Good luck.

spring is no big deal. you could swap em so you have matching

shock is another matter. i have no idea what the ha's are doing vs the he's. it seems that if tein sells them as different models they are valved differently. probably a bad idea

So do you guys think my best bet would be to get the one blown tein ha that im buying rebuilt? Or what?

HE's are teins old drift coils. They have been replaced by the Super Drifts. HA's are not valved the same way so the ride will be different, even if both coils are 16-way adjustable. It seems that you want to just throw them into your car so just do it. Like I said before, I wouldn't do it because but that's my preference.

if you're going to mix and match, run a matching pair

what are you running in the rear? if you have HE's all around you might as well get the one blown HE rebuilt

maybe its time to sell what you have and just get a new set of coilovers
