^^^Paired with the Tokiko's I don't see how you could go wrong...especially being able to put the car on the ground for 400 bucks.

That said, I tried to save some bucks buying used and got a mouthful of blown tein shocks and missing rebound adjustment knobs. After that, i said nothing but brand new when it comes to this stuff, unless I know the buyer.

For 200 more you can probably get a full setup from F&F v1's or HT spec with preload set separately from height adjustment.

Now that I think about it...

That car above, yeah...so nice.

used mix and match for 400 bucks is tempting and might be just fine!
BUT for 200 or so more to have new full on fully adjustable coils including rebound, height adjustment etc...
I'd be all over that all day long.

I'd say Tein's and save some money, but you want to be SUPER low and you want it as stiff as your azz can take it (yeah, that's what I meant...)...Tein's won't cut it.

^^^ you DO NOT get Tein SS for 600....

that is 800+ and does not include top hats

for 600-ish he will get Tein Basis which allow for only ride height adjustment....

and since he is on a tight budget it is a good deal....

just recently someone was selling a used jpipe for 375+shipping for 50-70 dollars more customer can get a new one....dont hate me J.....just fucking with ya....

^^^WTF are you pointing and laughing at, you're the one that told me the Tein's were 800ish for the equivalent of the SS's!!!

Anil...reading owns you, I gave him other reasons why TEIN won't work, i left out the cost since that part was obvious. If you were 1/4 as smart as you think you are, I'd be in serious trouble!!! Just fukin with you back! I told you, about the Jpipe, I'd hook you up with a special price of $550!! Plus, IIRC, all the prospective ACTUAL buyers, thought the price was fair.

Well, all irrelevant ...I'm okay though.




Tried to miss a deer, the back sorta swung me into the ditch and I couldn't get back out, hit the culvert pipe and launched into this side street up on the curb, lost braking ability and steering too. Airbag blasted me in the face


Sore today, but fine. Kinda sad about the car, I did like it. But since it looks totaled...maybe car buying time soon!

Holy fk, Sean. What kind of luck do you have with this damn car, man.

He isn't getting another TL, everyone, I'm certain of it. I see a GTI or something similar in his future. I'm also very glad you're ok. That's the important part.
