Opinion on Tien suspension

Opinion on this suspension:

http://www.mx5mart.co.nz/db.cgi?db=mart ... records2=1

"A set of springs,struts by Tien.Quality Japanese brand items in excellent condition. Springs are 30mm lower and ride a little firmer but still good for daily use."

I want to get some slightly firmer springs and shocks for my car as the standard ones were a bit too unresponsive to quick direction changes at the last track day- Does anyone have any opinions on these Tiens based on the information available? I want a good compromise between road driving and occasional track use....these seem to fit the bill

Just to check also, suspension upgrades that are no height adjustable such as these don't require a cert right?

Cheers

I had Teins on my 2001 NB. They damping was adjustable at the top of the shock by a knob that turned about 20 'clicks'. For the street, I had them set about 3 clicks from soft, so there was plenty of stifness to play with on the track.They were only adjustable for height by taking them apart and resetting the spring seat with a o ring arangement, so I set them and left them at 30mm lower than standard. I found them excellent, as do others that i know that have them.
