my car got raped in the storm last night on my way down from up north

after 300 miles of a large storm this is what happened to my rear suspension and tires





damm tein basics sucks lol

my rear coilovers are popped and now my car is VIP

okay i guess its time to hide out from the public a lil bit

 

Dood that sux man.. You have been doing so well, crap.. Well atleast it wasnt worse... Sorry to hear man..
Besides laying low might be nice for a bit, less headache

 

that sux man. I thought the basics were pretty good to go with.

 

Dang!!! How exactly did that happen? That really sucks.

 

It was bound to happen soon or later, at least you are alright and no real damage was done to the car that would be thousands of dollars to fix.

 

tony

my new coilovers are thousands !! lol

 

Gone are the days of the daily driver... I'm surprised the roads near your house don't kill your suspension/tires... nasty.

 

freak, that sux a$s! but yea we had some crazy rain up here in NorCal. it was nuts!

luckily it was just the suspension, and not the whole car...cuz man I'd hate to see something happen to the gold nugget

 

so are mine

 

I meant $5,000-$10,000+. Most coilovers for the tC i've seen don't cost much more than $1,600 for the most expensive kits.

 

i'm confused as to what happend.
did the spring perch on the coilovers break, causing your car to be slammed, which caused the flat tire?

 

You hit a bigass pothole?

 

Some road debris must have gotten kicked up to mangle that tire.... unless you were running bald....

 

why areu blaming the coilovers? its obvious that it was a tire failure.

 

That sucks

 

Oh man, it hurts to see advans riding on flats like that. What happened to the tein basics? Couldn't image how a storm could do that.

 

before blaming tien basics.. i would examine first the driving conditions you were in + w/e crap you have in your trunk + how low you were at the time. did you pop a spring? shock? examine first then say tiens sucks. but w/e could have been worse so thank god that you and ur car are ok.

and tire failure like that can be alot of things also. ive had new tires fail on me in normal DD. its just things that happen

 

couldnt you just send the coilovers out to get fixed?

 

Tein is a good company, however people really over play their products an insane amount. Their designs are great, but taek isn't the first tein basic failure i've heard of. First in the Scion community, but not the first over all. The SS's are a better design imo, but coilovers i personally wouldn't go with tein's. Again, they are a good company and their products overall are great. But people think of them as 10x better than what they actually are.

 

^^ AGREED... i personally like ground control coilovers VS tien basics.. ive owned GC's and when i had them with some kyb agx shock it was great!!.. I LOVED IT..and never had a problem
