My buddy is selling me his Tein Suspension...He had it for about a year and they are in pretty good shape....He wants $800 bucks for it...what do u guys think???

 

Those are some of the cleaner "used" Flex coilovers I have seen.

Not a bad deal considering they go for $1400+ or so new.

 

Id go for it, great coilovers for regular street use

 

I am not going to express my views, but suggest you call or e-mail beau@srmtuning.com
I would put the $$ towards a slightly higher end system for street use. Something that can be rebuild instead of scrapped after 2 years of street driving.

I do like DMS stuff

But tein can be rebuilt in California so they could last just as long as any other coilover that is rebuildable in the US.

 

I was under the impression that the US TEIN office merely took care of the core exchanges?
Any news about the JOC, cusco bits? I am currious as to if they are scrapped, exchanged, or repaired?

I'm not sure how much they cost because its an older model......what newer model number are they comparable too???? Thanks

 

If you have some money to spend, you should wait until the mono-flex comes out. They are a little bit more on the competitive edge, and i think you'd be better off with those in the long run. Just my 2 cents

 

Tein offers full rebuild here in the states we have done it for many of our customers.

Jic's have to be scrapped from what I know.

Cusco you can purchase a new center cartridge and reuse all the springs and perches.

 

What he is buying is the newest model flexes available on the market today.

Mono flexs are still in testing with no scheduled release date. A mono tube will perform better on the track and will be a great addition to the line up.

 

So is 800 bucks a good deal for them.....also for 200 bucks I get EDFC brand new...is that worth getting??? Thanks

 

Do you feel you really need coilovers? Usually, if you need to ask.....then the answer is no.


Springs are enough for most people.

No coilover will be worth a CRAP unless you set them up properly. If you aren't going to have a pro do the setup, don't waste your money on the hardware.

A properly setup cheap coliover will outperform a poorly setup expensive set every time.

That said, if you aren't prepared to do it right, you will get far better results from your stockers with new springs and maybe a swaybar.

 

I think they are worth 600 bucks...thats my 2 cents
