Ok so Im looking into getting a set of used tein basics, I just dont know what else I would need that it doesnt come with. The only thing included is what is in the pictures. Can someone tell me what else I need, and where or If I can buy them?




Will anyone lend me parts if I dont need to have them on with the basics?

 

adjustment wrenches to lower and raise the car?

 

thats what i figured...is that pretty much the only thing?

 

The tools to do the job if you're doing it on your own. A ball joint separator is the only specialized tool that comes to mind.

You're looking at the complete strut assemblies, so if that it's all you want to replace, your good.

 

besides the tein stickers and wrenches, I think you're good to go.

 

ok thanks a lot guys
I see the wrenches I can buy on teins website for 22$ but I dont know if its for the pair or not...i assume one is for the front, and one is for the back?

 

no, you need both when locking the two collars on each assembly. you should try to get the instruction manual too.

 

k but I wont be doing the install on my own, im having a shop do it

so all of this is there besides hooks and manual...?

yes, they are already put together and the person was nice enough to include the top hats. when they come new, you have to assemble them yourself and use your stock top hats.

even if you have a shop install these, you will still need to get the wrenches if you want to lower or raise the car yourself. otherwise you will have to go back to that shop every time you want to adjust the height. the instruction manual goes through how to adjust the height.

thanks for your help CG, much appreciated!
