tien coilovers HA, HE, FLEX

I've got a question about these, are they rebuildable? What the hell do you do if they wear out or crap out? how would you go about getting parts for them? I'm just curous, these are really expensive, even used like im looking at, it would suck to blow only one out and have to replace the whole set. thanks alot.

Why are you looking at coil-overs? They are totally unnecessary for street driving. Save your money and get a good set of springs and some Konis.

Why don't you contact TEIN USA and ask? Get the info you want direct from the source.

In your original post, you stated that you thought that Tein HAs were REALLY expensive, even used. Considering they cost less than $1k new without the pillow *****, I simply assumed that they were NOT for the track. Going to the track costs money.

As Dom said, contact Tein. If you blow a damper, I can't imagine that they couldn't just replace that part.

Yes, the Teins are rebuildable. I had the fronts overhauled. They had to replace just about everything, even the piston. this was done in Japan, and it cost me about 40,000 iirc. thats about 350 bucks...not sure about stateside pricing though....good luck. on a side note, EVERYONE in japan who races uses coilovers. only the states uses "drop springs and dampers". just my thoughts...
