i recently installed a set of Tein Ha’s for my s13a… performs well and dandy… no bottoming out or anything of that nature… (item purchased from averageplayer; who purchased them from slipperysilvia)… anyways… i’m happy with them to say the least…

Only thing is… on more spirited road bumps… when my coilys retract (i think/bounce?) they emit a Squish sound… not sure what the deal is… if anyones had a similar issue… please edumacate me… maybe the dampening settings??? i didn’t really ajust anything but the front height…

any help would be much appriciated… phanks~

Sounds like one of the valves in the coilovers is leaking, I may be completely wrong but i belive thats the sound it makes.

i don’t beleive it’s leaking… no physical signs niether… on a forum someone stated that it’d would be correct with a alignment and proper height/dampening setting. so i’ll give it a try… sounds right… cause i hear it mainly from one side…

Mine squeak all the time, in particular the front right. The front left was blown at the end of last season and I had the damper replaced, the right side was just fine.

Just get used to it… it’s a normal sound… along with many other creaks and clunks.
