2AR-FE MR2 SPYDER - Tein Monosport - E05

Episode 5 of my MR-2 Spyder build. In this episode, I installed Tien Motorsport coilovers. Driving and handling impressions, will be in an upcoming video, after I take it to an autox event.

Nice description and appreciate the info on background thinking and how-to for buyers in the USA.

Glad it was helpful!

Looks like you have your rear Whiteline sway bar at the stiffest setting. I would recommend you actually put it at the softest setting and the front at the stiffest setting of you are going to autocross it. This will help prevent the car from rotating/oversteering.

[@CedricParker]

I know running less sway bar in the rear is supposed to be faster around an auto-x course. I just don't really like it for regular driving.

Hi, really looking forward to your feedback on these. I think these Monosports with EDFC Active Pro could be amazing...

[@CedricParker]

Yeah, that was another reason I wanted to go this route. I've been eyeing edfc

[@bryanlarrea2867]

How do you like these, i currently have the flex z's on my ek. There's barely any reviews on the mono sports for any chassis. I gotta say i do like my flex z's. I track/autocross and do the occasional road trip in my ek. I ended up buying some JDM only ohlins for my ek recently for the same reason you bought your mono sports. The jpy is about .0067 to the dollar as of today...

[@CedricParker]

I like them alot. On the softest setting they are more compliant then stock, but still reduce body roll and on firm settings they are ace

[@redstonegarage]

Do you mean S3 suspension? lol

[@CedricParker]

Good catch, I did mean S3.

[@SBdunks3]

How does it feel now?

[@CedricParker]

They are so nice.

[@rogerlee2771]

Any feed back on handling?

[@CedricParker]

I want to wait until I at least do a autox to give a full review on how they handle. But I've been driving around on full soft. The ride is very nice and smooth they dampen bumps well while still limiting body roll.
