Help, Which Tein Coilovers are these?

Help, Which Tein Coilovers are these?
I found these online here in Canada, emailed the seller who has a few sets for the FD according to him, I quote:

JDM MAZDA RX7 3RD GEN ADJUSTABLE SUSPENSIONS

Price $849.00 Shipped

FIT TO: MAZDA RX7 THIRD GEN
YEAR: 92 - 95
SERIES: FD3S


The seller said the only thing markings other the "Tein" was "Racing"
I've looked on the Tein website and nothing is a perfect match. Older model? JDM Version he's does imports as well? They look like the Super Racing without the reservoirs.

Or the Mono Flex

Most likely the Flex or MonoFlex version.
In either case, it looks like a good price for the condition they are in.

Sellers says there new (I believe JDM imports) and he has three sets for sale. I'm a little leery just because they don't seem to have any stickers on them. Will email him back tomorrow to see if he guarantee fitment and indeed their Teins. If he takes paypal I guess I can't go wrong.

Your dam right! Asked the seller to send me pics of any labels on the coilover, so it's another case of buyer beware. But the seller never called them "Tein" But TEINS so I guess he off the hook, but in all the posted pics the seller never shows the labels "Crafty Bugger" Just as you said cheap knockoffs, so I'll wait to the new year and get my Trak Pro Competition Series Coilovers II or III's from pettit as was my original plan. If it's to good to be true it probably isn't. I wonder if "Tein" know these are out there!

You actually just advised RX to get ripped off? What exactly was your reply post based on?

Yeah, TEIN does not call their products "TEINS." The color and anodization is way off, the adjustment **** is different, the stickers are wrong, and the perches are NOT TEIN perches.

Here's a pic of my TEIN Flex:



Be careful where you get information, either online or even from people on this very forum....
