New Product STREET BASIS DAMPER
TEIN is proud to release the new Street Basis damper to North American consumers. Street Basis Damper is the evolution of the popular BASIC coilover model. It incorporates new internal and external components, newly developed coatings and new manufacturing processes. The end result is a ride height adjustable coilover which is less expensive and more durable. MSRP starts at $700.
PRODUCT FEATURES
NEW Internal Components
TEIN engineers have spent many hours developing new seals and internal components to improve durability and product life. This was one of our major goals for the new model.
“ZT” Corrosion Resistant Coating
Newly developed “ZT” coating for improved durability and hassle-free ride height adjustment. TEIN developed this coating in-house after stringent test and analysis procedures. Our engineers tested different coats, application methods, cleaning processes, etc… in our own brine salt water testing machine which simulates heavy solvents/ road salts used in cold weather climates.
Non-welded Adjustment Tube
Slip-fit threaded adjustment tube. Allows for damper body and threaded sleeve to be thoroughly coated for rust/ corrosion protection.
The slip-fit allows a more thorough coating on the threaded section as well as powder coated damper body.
Revised Spring Seat and Thrust Washer
Revised Aluminum Spring Seat and Delrin Thrust Washer are light weight and durable. This combination allows for smooth ride height adjustment. The new spring seats have a larger contact surface area and eliminate the need for a rubber spring seat.
The following applications will be available starting June 8, 2011.
GSH98-1USS2, 96-00 Honda Civic, MSRP $700
GSH94-1USS2, 98-02 Honda Accord, MSRP $700

Gr.N with F.R.S. Spec
Hey everyone. You guys might be familiar with our Gr. N dampers but we are now taking those dampers to the next level with our Gr.N with F.R.S.
For those who do not know what F.R.S. is, I will explain the basic features and functions.
F.R.S. is an acronym for Fast Rebound System
This Fast Rebound System operates when the mechanical sensor detects a change in load on the tires. FRS is especially effective when going through large gaps or making jumps.
F.R.S. reduces the possibility of the vehicle bottoming out and keeps the tires on the ground for traction. This will in turn mean faster stage times and better grip on rough surfaces.
Two adjustable points of F.R.S.
1)F.R.S. Start Point
The switch mechanism for the F.R.S. is the belleville washer (disc Spring). As the load on tire gets closer to zero, the F.R.S. operates more actively to give you more traction. Different combination of the Belleville washers allow you to control the amount of load transferred, giving you more possibilities in settings.
2) Opening F.R.S.
When the F.R.S. operates, the by-pass valve is opened to allow rebound damping force to instantly decrease. By altering the amount F.R.S. opens the valve, excess rebound movement of the vehicle or downward load can be adjusted accordingly.

My Evo X and Fujitsubo Legalis R
I bring to you another progress update/product review regarding my personal Evo X.
Previously, I had written about the Mono Flex Dampers that I am using.
This time I bring to you Fujitsubo’s Legalis R for the CZ4A.
My goal for modifying my car was to obtain as much power as possible while keeping the car completely street legal; and I remember when the Legalis R was first being tested on an Evo X, the sound level and power gains were impressive, unfortunately I didn’t have my car back then.
Of course, whenever anyone puts at least a cat-back exhaust on their car they are hoping to gain some power out of it; and I knew, from having seen the before and after dyno runs, that there was power to be made over the stock exhaust with the Legalis R.
Another thing that was important for me was the aesthetics of the exhaust.
Before deciding on the Legalis R, I actually tried out the RM01A that had been on Elliot’s TEIN Sponsored EVO X.
But after driving around with it for a week or so I decided that I wanted something a little less aggressive looking and flowed better with the rest of the car.
(If you desire the aggressive dual canister look, the RM01A is available for special order.)
And finally the sound level.
According to California Vehicle Code 27151 the decibel level of the exhaust cannot exceed 95dbA.
The Legalis R falls well under 95dbA. It is a very quiet exhaust, no drone when cruising at highway speeds or any speed at that.
A Legalis R Promotional Video was recently filmed using my car, so keep an eye out it’ll be released soon.
My Evo X as it sits now:
Special thanks to Mackin Industries for helping me obtain a set of TE37’s.
Also, special thanks to Evasive Motorsports for their masterful fender rolling abilities and for carefully mounting tires onto my white wheels without leaving any marks, always true professionals.
(None of that fender rolling with a baseball bat at Evasive)
