Wink Ebay?

Hi im trying to get new springs and i was wondering if the Tein S.Tech's they sell on ebay were fakes or authentic...I'm also looking for a new front and rear bumper cover. Thanks!

there was a problem in the past with lots of fakes going around, not sure if ebay or acurazine had the full details about it, comparision photos, stick positioning, etc.

Not sure if this is still the case but at one point 60% of the "TEIN" springs on ebay were fake. I would recommend purchasing from an Authorized Dealer; check TEIN's dealer list.

I would not get just springs..

If I save up enough to lower the ride, i'd be getting full tein SS coils, and then EDFC with that
