TEIN has perfected the art of designing practical, high-performance coilover systems over many years, so this kit is worth checking out. Price-wise, this kit is $700, which is a small price for the degree of adjustability you will get. In this article, we’ll explore the features and benefits of this kit, but first, let us consider the following:

1. What are coilovers?
2. What are three reasons to upgrade?
3. Why buy the coilovers GSF12-8UAS2 by TEIN

What is a Coilovers?

Coilovers are often a selection of four coilovers – two for the front and the other two for the rear. A coilover combines a shock with a spring, and so it handles the functions of the two components. It mounts in where your car’s stock springs would be.

What are Three Reasons to Upgrade?

Better Handling

One of the main benefits of the coilovers GSF12-8UAS2 is that it offers sharper handling. These coilovers are superior to your factory-fitted springs and shocks in build quality, material composition, and strength. Their springs also have higher spring rates, while their shocks use shock valving technology. Thanks to the above, these coilovers will deliver improved handling and performance.

More Adjustability

Another benefit of this coilovers is their greater adjustability. The kit is made to provide up to 36 levels of adjustment, so you can adjust to offer the ride height you need. For example, when you intend to drive through an area with bumps, potholes, or uneven roads, you can set the coilovers to a higher ride-height setting. These levels of adjustment also alter the car’s ride comfort and handling. The higher the ride-height setting, the softer the ride, and vice versa, so you can also adjust these coilovers to offer your preferred handling/ride comfort characteristics.

100% Balanced

As it is, your car achieves impressive balance and control because it has a front-position engine and rear wheel drive – a body layout that achieves near 50/50 front to rear weight distribution. Well, that balance can get even better. Its four coilovers will hold up the four corners of your 2010 Hyundai Genesis Coupe 4Cyl 2.0L at matching heights and angles so that they will achieve 1 to 1 weight displacement between opposing corners of the car. As a result, the kit will facilitate superior control and composure when cornering while enhancing the durability of your car’s suspension system.
