Reuses OEM Top Mounts:
This kit requires reusing your factory top mounts (also called upper mounts or strut mounts). The OEM top mounts are transferred from your factory suspension to the Tein coilovers during installation. Before installation, inspect your OEM top mounts for wear, cracks, or deterioration - worn top mounts can cause noise, poor handling, and premature coilover wear. If your top mounts are worn, replace them with new OEM or aftermarket units before installing the coilovers. This is the perfect time to inspect and replace worn top mounts as the suspension will already be disassembled.
Street Advance Z Series:
The Street Advance Z represents Tein's premium street coilover line, offering advanced features like 16-way damping adjustment and EDFC compatibility at a competitive price. The series is designed for enthusiasts who want more tuning capability than entry-level coilovers while maintaining street-friendly performance. The Street Advance Z provides the perfect balance of adjustability, performance, and daily driving comfort.
16-Way Damping Adjustment:
The 16-way damping adjustment allows you to fine-tune the suspension for your specific driving style and conditions. The adjustment range goes from soft (comfortable street driving) to firm (spirited driving and track use). With 16 distinct settings, you can find the perfect balance for your needs. The adjustment is made via a knob at the top of each damper, allowing easy changes without tools. This adjustability means the coilovers can adapt to different driving conditions, from daily commuting to weekend track days.
EDFC (Electronic Damping Force Controller) Compatible:
The Street Advance Z is compatible with Tein's EDFC (Electronic Damping Force Controller) system, which allows you to adjust damping from inside the vehicle while driving. The EDFC connects to the damper adjustment knobs via motors and is controlled by a dashboard-mounted controller. This allows you to change damping settings on the fly without stopping, making it easy to adapt to changing road conditions or driving styles. The EDFC is sold separately and is an excellent addition for enthusiasts who frequently change their driving environment.
Mono-Tube Damper Construction:
The Street Advance Z uses mono-tube damper construction, which provides superior performance compared to twin-tube designs. Mono-tube dampers have a single working chamber with a floating piston separating the oil and gas. This design provides better heat dissipation, more consistent damping, and improved response. The mono-tube construction is preferred for performance applications and is used in many high-end coilover systems.
Height Adjustable Design:
The full-length adjustable design allows you to dial in your perfect ride height. The adjustment range provides flexibility to achieve your desired stance while maintaining proper suspension geometry. Height adjustment is made via threaded lower brackets, allowing precise tuning. The ability to adjust height independently at each corner allows for perfect stance and proper corner balancing.

Installation Tips:

- Set initial height conservatively - can adjust later

- Clean threads and apply anti-seize for easy future adjustment
