Hi,

 

Founds these coilovers they are meant to be tein and they are going for a good price. Any thoughts? Apparently meant to be around 700 RP.

 

Ask the seller for the TEIN part number mate, because to me in that pic they look like a mix and match of different brand parts. If they are made up of different parts that's not to say that they aren't a good setup or a reflection of their effectiveness as coilovers, I'd just insist on taking a ride in the sellers car with them fiited in order to judge for myself. Having said that if the price is really cheap then it may just be a case of taking the plunge and buying them at risk

tein shocks are normally Gold/green colour .. and with that pic all so the logo on the springs look like ebichs

Yep got to agree definatly don't look like Tein

thats what i thought, well asked for some close ups and exact part number too. Hopefully something will come up!

Just figured out its lees300zx car lol

still not sure about the coilovers as he was painting them in the thread!

That's a stock type shock with ground control height adjustable spring setup installed. Nothing Tein about it, not that Tein is the be all and end of of suspension anyway.

Yep got to agree definatly don't look like Tein

 

That's what I thought too - and as Mark says, Teins are normally green....

 

.....How much are you getting them for? I only ask, as Meister R (a trader on here) does a superb set of coilovers; and I think he's offering a little discount at present. So brand new, known kit vs unkown second hand stuff. Hmmmm - if the ones you found are cheap then fine; otherwise invest in the Meister Rs....

That type of conversion with helper springs can make for a hard ride when lowered ,as on a factory made coil over over you can adjust the bottom Lower shock body mount and keep the preload on the spring .

Well i guess its not the right one for me! Thanks for the advice guys, thanks richard will look into that!
