ANYONE have TEIN?

Anyone have the TEIN Suspension? and if so what's your drop height for stock rims. Oh and how much did you pay for it? The cheapest i found was $829 for the Type SS w/o pillowball mounts.

I got mine for about $800, cause my friend knows a guy that owns a shop, right now i'm riding with a 2.5" drop, with the stock rims, cause it's winter time, I also have the Ingalls camber kit on it.

Last time I checked, Tein didn't make coilovers for the 3rd gen TL with Pillowball Uppermounts. I just checked the site right now and they are listed as "Now In Development". I had no clue what the hell pillowball mounts are, but now I see they are for adjusting camber? Is this right? Hope so, because the ingalls camber kit is kinda expensive.
...sorry just realized this isnt the 3rd gen forum

The Ingalls kit is kinda expensive, it's about $300, and you cant install the upper ball joint yourself, because it's compressed in, it's very hard to get it out. You can add the rear in yourself, it's pretty easy, but the front cost me $150 to get them in, and another $120 to get it a align.

so am I correct in assuming that the pillowball mounts, though in development for the 3rd gen, would be an acceptable alternative to the ingalls kit as a camber adjustment solution?

That is exactly what I am wondering.
