oh i thought the bearing was built into the strut mount?

 

yeah, and its not 10 bucks, try 10 bucks x 15, then youll be more in the area (shipping not included)

 

good thing i bought mine from RRM who included the strut bearing !!

 

^ no extra charge?

 

If you go onto teins website they are making a set just for the es, it says in development. So im not just talking with out being able to back it up!

 

understood, and i wasnt calling you a liar in any way shape or form....

however, that doesnt mean i see logic in tein prolly spending money to develop a system that doesnt nessesarily need to be developed

 

not saying you were calling me a liar, I really dont see the point either but hey whatever floats their boat. If they got the money whatever works for them.

 

I will ask TEIN. I kinda doubt it. We are a mile away from TEIN. They always use our cars for R & D. I have not got a call from them.

Its right up on their website,
http://www.tein.com/badamp.html scroll down and look for mitsubishi lancer es
http://www.tein.com/ssdamp.html same thing here scroll down and look for the es.

 

Yeah I checked that out a few days ago, seems kind of funky cause if you look at the spring rates and drop range they're different as well.

 

Yeah I know, I was looking at it the first day Cnfx Performance got the new 2006 Catalog from tein a few weeks back.

 

i called up Tein and they stated that the newer lots include the spring seat adapter needed for the ES models. It is item part# USS03-11211. The only thing is that these are the newer lots direct from Tein, so if a dealer has a set of these dampers(and the super street as well) then, you have to make 100% sure they are including that part.

RRM should verify this to see whether or not their $120 kit is necessary anymore

 

Wow that's good to hear. So now the coilovers will just bolt right up without any extra stuff needed?

 

If they have it then we can just get those and delete the OZ bearing stuff. We are 2 miles away from TEIN so I am sure we can get them sooner than anyone. Call us Monday and we can inquire with TEIN.
