Tein?

Anyone know anything about Tein suspensions? I found a good deal on a whole coilover kit, but don't know much about them. Anyone?

Excellent stuff.

Performance oriented, not for comfort.

Yes, they are very nice, and I'll be getting a set of Tein SS when I do my suspension (hopefully soon ), since they discontinued the HAs

Which model are they? That's an OK deal if they're new depending on model. The shop that I'll go through will do the SS for ~$1k installed (~$100 installation).

Its the US version of the HA. Same spring rates as HA from what I've seen, but a lower minimum drop.

Tein is definitely more performance oriented.

Tein stuff has been imported into the US for quite a while now.
