Selling my Tein Flex Coilovers. Decided to sell these and go with stock until I can save up for Eibach R2s. These have been great with VERY noticeable improvement in handling. Ride quality is definitely harsher due to the stiffer springs and better dampers. Its a great set of coilovers if you want to be slammed or want something very sporty. I've loved them while I had them but I want something different.

I've had these on for maybe 10k miles. No shock leaks or decrease in damping power. I've had these checked out by TEIN USA located in Downey and they said the dampers were fine. Dampers are fully serviceable/repairing by TEIN.

Now on to some of the issues with these. The threads on the rear of the shock are not very good. It was tough for me to remove the nut. I had to use a hand clamp to remove the nut so the bottom threads are slightly damaged, as you can see on the picture. This area is not affected as the top bushing sits in that area. Besides that, there hasn't been a problem with the coilovers.

If you have any questions please let me know. I am selling these for $1,000 shipped. Retail on these are $2,000 not including the EDFC controller, motors, and spanner wrench.

You can see what they looked like on my car in my sig. That is with the ride height at max. So you can lower it a lot more.

yeah ideally best way would be to have them rebuild by tein USA. they will put in a new rod im assuming. I will ask them and get back to you.
