ONE SLAMMED ELEMENT!!

Posted on May 30, 2012 by Sergio M.

‘Sup Guys! As you can see, this Element does not look like your ordinary slammed Element. Then again why would it, since this one belongs to one of our staff that is known for slamming his cars!

You can see how much lower it is compared to another staff member’s stock Element here.

This slam didn’t come easy. Gonzo had to look over lots of design drawings and come up with the one that basically lowered the car to his liking! He decided to go with customized Basic dampers from a 2001-2005 Honda Civic re-valved to 10kg and 14 kg springs. After he completed lowering his Element he purchased a nice set of Enkei’s (first gen NT03+M 18″ by 8 1/2″ to make it look even lower (overall diameter of the wheel and tire is smaller than the factory setup).

**The 2001-2005 Civic Basic kit is is not a direct swap into the Element- steering arm location is not the same and requires custom steering tie rod ends to make it work. It should be noted that if anyone decides to do a similar modification to their vehicle, it is at their sole discretion.

Some of his upgrades are a S2000 steering wheel with functioning cruise control, a rear camber kit and a Carbing blue anodized shift knob.

Street Basis Coilover testing for the ’10+ Prius has been completed.

The ride height drop for the Prius: Front -55mm and Rear -55mm.

The actual drop may vary by models due to the weight of different components (ie Transmission, Packages, etc.)

WHAT THE PACK-AGING?

Posted on December 23, 2010 by TEIN USA

Hello to all. Some products have new packaging, basically we have gone colorless.

The EDFC Control Units have changed overall packing eliminating the previous packing into a smaller box. The box still says “TEIN EDFC” but is only stamped on the top section of the box. It still uses the same part numbers and all parts inside the box are still be the same.

Another change to the packaging was to the damper boxes. The older damper boxes have green in the logo and on Dampachi.

The new style packing has all solid black printing, the overall look remains unchanged. The other change is that the part number label also had a Dampachi printed in black on some damper boxes, Dampachi is now gone.

Thus far these would be the only product box changes. Hopefully these pics would better help future purchasers questioning whether the item is genuine or not.
