I did some searching on here and amongst other places to no avail......

My question is to why all the sites are saying that they don't make Tein's for 2007 and up, all the places just have 03-06....Now granted I am new here and haven't done extensive research, but from what i have gathered, they should work for my '08??

I just need confirmation of this. I don't want the ksports or ds or xyz or semi-colon or whatever other brand, I like Tein and used them several times before, and want to continue using them.

All helped is appreciated before hand.

You didnt read or search enough.
The Teins will work. As long as you are
using the coil overs. I wont go into the
specifics, you are going to have to do
some REAL research.

Thanks dogg! Now that I got that on the low, I'll be sure to rep the teins. I'm an idiot when it comes to cars, I just gots lotsa monies and figured I'd just ask instead of read through 6 years of posts trying to find out the only difference is the new E has a different wheel lug torque spec. But thanks again broseph. I'll be getting those installed at my local hibdon tires plus. I think I'm gonna put air ride on it too, can you do that? And my buddy has some 24's I'm gonna put on it. I think I'll mini tub it like my 69 camaro to get no rub!

So I guess this forum isn't here to help out fellow members, yet just to ignore any questions they might have. Well because of this I am now going to sell my Element and buy something that I can actually get help on from different forums.

I am sorry you did not get the answer you were looking for. Our members are always willing to help out fellow members when they have the answer to your question. I can only guess that the members that viewed your posts didn't have an answer and didn't know what direction to point you in.

. How are you supposed to put tein coilovers and also air ride on the element? and to minitub it sounds ridiculous. I dont think you can minitub an independent suspensioned vehicle. You would most certainly have to convert to a solid rear axle. its either one or the other with the suspension, and then to get all upset and say you are sellin the e because you had no replies. A little curious behavior on your part.

air springs... lot of people run coilovers with a bag that looks like this (https://www.universalairsuspension.com/store/popup_image.php?pID=29&osCsid=67432c7dd09648614ff8569ef9f86ea2)

yes but you dont run coilovers with those, those replace the strut all together and also provide adjustment of ride height. He could go with the new ksport air suspension, its pricey but looks pretty nice for $3k or so.

People here get tired of spoon feeding new members answers to the same old questions over, & over, & over, & over, & over, & over..........


Do a LITTLE research & you may be surprised. I am almost positive ALL your questions can be answered by just the first page of this subsection. & the fact you didnt search is quite evident by your questions alone.

Go to a shop & they will gladly spoon feed you all the info you want, and will gladly try every suspension idea you have, but until you start paying people here for the same services.... dont expect to be treated the same.

Did you click on the link I posted? You take the coil spring off the coilovers and replace it with the bag in my link and an adapter.

My buddy john was running universal air bags with tien coilovers.

No information is better than misinformation. Anything can be done, and probably has been done. You just need to look beyond this "tame" forum where some rims and suspension makes you one of the most modded cars. So what the kid wants to tub his car and run coil overs and bags, if he has the money and can afford it, more power to him. At least he's not spending his money on underage prostitutes and drugs.

This is what the bag looks like on a coilover.

I have a friend that tubbed the front of his lsx 240 too.

Funny how I know someone with air bags on coilovers and a tubbed unibody right?

And the ksport air bag system IMHO are not worth the money. Cheap parts at a high cost.
