TEIN recommends 10 kgf\/mm front and 10 kgf\/mm rear spring rates for this application.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuper Racing is TEIN's top motorsport coilover, developed for time attack and circuit racing. Compression and rebound each have their own 16-step adjuster (256 combinations), strut types use inverted dampers for side stiffness, and wishbone types use lightweight aluminium bodies, some with remote reservoirs. Height is set by full-length adjustment through a moving lower bracket, independently of spring preload.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe damper bodies get TEIN's two-layer powder coat, and the height-adjustment threads are protected by TEIN's low-friction ZTP coating, which resists rust and stone chips and helps stop the spring seats seizing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDamper type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mono-tube (inverted on strut types)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight adjustment:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full-length (case-length) adjustable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDamping adjustment:\u003c\/strong\u003e 16 compression x 16 rebound, adjusted separately\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpring rate, front:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10 kgf\/mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpring rate, rear:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10 kgf\/mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRide height as supplied, front:\u003c\/strong\u003e approx. 40-45 mm lower than standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRide height as supplied, rear:\u003c\/strong\u003e approx. 25-35 mm lower than standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTEIN recommended height range, front:\u003c\/strong\u003e 30 to 55 mm below standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTEIN recommended height range, rear:\u003c\/strong\u003e 15 to 45 mm below standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEDFC motor kit:\u003c\/strong\u003e EDK05-12120 (sold separately)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTop mounts:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pillow-ball top mounts with camber (and caster on strut types)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePart number:\u003c\/strong\u003e DSS78-81LS1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpring rates and ride heights are TEIN's application data.

If your exact model isn't listed, contact us with your registration before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eInstallation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe kit replaces the complete original strut and damper assemblies. Set the ride height on the bench by screwing the damper body in or out of its lower bracket, then fine-tune on the car. TEIN pre-tightens the lower bracket lock rings only, so they must be fully tightened at fitting and checked regularly. Never shorten the body beyond TEIN's stated range. Tighten the top nut with a torque wrench while holding the piston rod on its flats; over-tightening can damage the adjuster. Leave suspension arm bolts loose until the car is back on its wheels, then torque them at normal ride height so the bushes aren't preloaded. TEIN advises lowering by no more than 30-40 mm to start with, keeping the front level with or 5-10 mm lower than the rear. Let the springs settle for a few days, recheck the height and lock rings, then have a full four-wheel alignment done. Fitting needs spring compressors (where strut assemblies are rebuilt), a torque wrench and a good understanding of the car's suspension. We recommend professional fitting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eUpgrade Further\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdd a TEIN EDFC5 controller with motor kit EDK05-12120 to adjust damping from the driver's seat. Contact us for pricing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWill this kit fit my Subaru Impreza GVF GVB?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis kit (TEIN part DSS78-81LS1) is listed for the models in the Fitment section above. Check your chassis code, year and trim against that list, along with any notes under it. If you're unsure, send us your registration or VIN before ordering and we'll confirm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow low will my Subaru Impreza GVF GVB go?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs supplied, TEIN's data puts the car approx. 40-45 mm lower than standard at the front and approx. 25-35 mm lower than standard at the rear. TEIN recommends staying within 30 to 55 mm below standard at the front and 15 to 45 mm below standard at the rear. Wheels, tyres and the car's condition all affect the final height.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow is the damping adjusted?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompression and rebound each have their own 16-step adjuster, giving 256 combinations. Start from TEIN's recommended settings in the instructions and change one adjuster a few clicks at a time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes it work with TEIN EDFC?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. You'll need TEIN's EDFC5 controller kit plus motor kit EDK05-12120 for this car, both sold separately. EDFC lets you change damping from inside the car.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAre top mounts included?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Pillow-ball top mounts are included. They give sharper steering feel and camber adjustment, but can transmit a little more noise than rubber mounts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDo I need a wheel alignment after fitting?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Changing ride height alters camber and toe, so have a full four-wheel alignment done once the springs have settled and the height is final.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAre TEIN coilovers road legal in the UK?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuper Racing is designed for competition use. Any suspension modification on a road car should be declared to your insurer, and the car must stay roadworthy for the MOT.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs Super Racing suitable for road use?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuper Racing is designed for circuit and competition use. It can be set softer, but the pillow-ball mounts and firm spring rates make it noisy and harsh for everyday road driving. For a road car with occasional track days, look at Mono Sport or Mono Racing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat warranty do TEIN coilovers come with?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTEIN UK covers its suspension for 12 months from the date of purchase against defects in materials and workmanship. Keep your invoice, as it's needed for any claim.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tein","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58920700248447,"sku":"DSS78-81LS1","price":3672.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/6251\/6693\/files\/teinSuperRacing-1_f25ccd3e-eb84-4967-b688-bafa301c770a.jpg?v=1792773782","url":"https:\/\/coilovers.co.uk\/products\/tein-super-racing-coilovers-subaru-impreza-gvf-gvb-10","provider":"Coilovers.co.uk","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
