I'm no expert on coilovers, so I need some advice. About to pick up a set of these for $1500 used, Includes pillowball mounts. Guy had them on for 2 years and estimates the mileage at 40-50k km's. Retail for the setup is $2000 no tax's. Good deal? I'm thinking its a little steep, I would say they should be priced at $1200.

My BIG question is how long do tein's usually last for? I can't find any answers anywhere.

 

if you can afford spend a little more and get cusco or something way better.

or stance brand new for that price.

 

Stance is actually better? My original plan was to get stance brand new, but then I found the opportunity for these. I'm not looking to spend more then $1.5k on coilovers.

 

I'm assuming that CAN dollars? If it's not coming with the EDFC, that price is too high for those used. It seem the FC Tein SS retail right now for around $1400 USD without the EDFC.

 

Thats right CAN dollars. $2k for the setup brand new is US, with pillowball mounts. The setup does not come with the EDFC.

 

While I don't know the prices of FC pillow mounts, I doubt they would be $700 (to make the setup $2000 USD):

^^ Thats a pretty damn low price.

The price for pillowball mounts is $260 for fronts, and $220 for rears.

There you go. His price for those items used is too high. If he won't budge in his price, but the stuff new.

 

take a look at "BC Racing" coilovers.
