So I finally broke down and splurged. I went ahead and got me a set of TEINs. With the horrible yen rate what it is, they cost me a little over $1,800. I wasn't sure about it but when I found out that TEIN is discontinuing the pillow-top mounts (they have officially stopped making them this year) as well as possibly the entire set-up in the future, I wanted to grab these up ASAP. Lucky no shipping for me, just went to the parts store, ordered them with the customer service rep, waited a week for them to come from mainland, and Voila! See pics below, lol.
Sadly, they will have to wait for me to put them on until I put my car through JCI inspection (they are pretty strict when it comes to aftermarket) later this month but after that I will be golden! Yes I will make sure to post before and after pics. on a side note, people who run TEIN (the JP ones) what do you guys have the height and dampening set at? I may get the EDFC later down the road but for now it will all be hand adjusted. ![]() ![]() ![]() Some of the random stuff that was packed in. See that little bottle? It's a rust preventive spray, lol!
