My intentions weren't to steer business away from this guy. Yes I believe I offer competitive pricing on TEIN products but nothing near to what this guy is selling for. List on these kits is $1000 and it costs about $50 to ship these kits. You can PM me for details but for this guy to be selling them for $400-$500 shipped he would have to be getting 60% off of list, which is very hard to come by in the aftermarket industry, and virtually non-existent on coilover setups (or ones that are reliable for that matter).

what's wrong with you donkeys, it's CL.AcuraZine.com not a-cl anymore, please use the proper URL, or one day you'll find the a-cl sends you someplace else.

I completely feel this deal is WAY too good to be true, josh has been right before, i suggest listening to his advice in this thread.

btw.. u guyz sure its not $420(Canada) per wheel?

"The question is what do we want? They have Tein SS systems starting at 420 a piece INDIVIDUALLY, but with a group buy, thats all you would pay, cuz we save the taxes and some more."- 96roadraider

^ doesnt really make sense.. haha

This is what the group buy is supposedly getting: Note this came from ebay, not the group buy, I personally wouldn't buy from the group buy since noone knows what they're getting, and I just bought omni's, but you asked for a pic. So here is what they're SUPPOSED to be getting, someone should have real pics from the gb sooner or later.



They go for $900+shipping on ebay, retail around 1200-1400, so that should give you guys some perspective. If they're selling per front and rear sets or individually, this is not a good deal, and like others have said, if they're listed as individually, you're not getting a set of 4 for that price, I guarantee it.

Also remember kiddies, if you're paying to have these shipped from remember you have to pay duties and get through customs

well im obviously dropping out if we aren't getting what it says we're getting..
i wanted in because it was such an insane deal, and if it works out, i would kick myself for not joining in.
but i'm not paying for something that i don't want when i was lead to believe i would be getting something else

Hey if it is the real deal count me in and maybe I'll even throw some extra cash your way if it does work out and you can confirm it for us first.
