i recently bought a set of Tein SS from a member who said that they wanted out of these because they didnt go low enough. I got them in the box of his new Meaghan Coils so i dont doubt that since the meghans can be slammed. I never owned a set of these so im not too sure what to look for. He said that he had them for about 5,000 miles but when i opened the box, they looked a bit worn for 5k. Here are some pics if anyone can help me out. I need to know if these are good to be installed before i pay someone to do it. Being that i used paypal, im sure i can get reimbursed if these are bad. It concerned me to see a piece of worn rubber on one of the coils (first pic, all the way to the right) but everything else looked fine to me...

 

the rubber is not a problem because we use our OEM boots so who knows how many miles were on his stockies before he put them on the teins. check for any scratches on the piston shaft and make sure you dont see any fluid leaks. you can also compress them and make sure they raise back on their own. if all good, clean them up and install and enjoy!

 

thanks bro..i feel like weight was lifted off my shoulders. I checked the pistons and everything looks good..no leakage.. i'll wait a bit to install these since i want to buy the edfc unit to compliment it... know of any places to install these?

 

No i dont as i work on my own car.. Thats great that you got the top hats with it. It should be an easy install.

 

infamouslink pretty much told everything to check for..if all that checks out you shouldnt have any problems

 

as far as it goes for coilover install i can do it for you not sure about edfc but why not to try and yes what InFaMouSLink said as long as there are no leaks and coils are not seized they are should be good to go

 

how much for install?

 

You save so much time,with top hats installed already.....Hope those coils are good and Ure good to go....usually people scratch them up installing them on the car

 

Sorry for thread jacking....... But yo EatSleepRace you painted you car white or did you buy a type s?

I'm trying to get a wdp type s, but I'm seeing alot of high mileage on some of them.

 

Lmaooo ^^ Ureña he bought a TL-S

 

6mt at that..

 

Yeh son did a a whole type s swap .....lol.....

Nah man I have to step it up and get ready for Alex....!!!!!

 

oh iight lmaoo, so i found a 08 wdp type s with 54,xxx miles for $25,985....what you guys think?

 

ME??? bro, im STOCK..

[Dont mind the signature links]

Overpriced from what i've recently seen on AZ..

 

I can install these. Just shoot me a visitor message or PM.

 

Try to buy it from a private owner,u can talk down the price a couple grand......

 

That's the thing I've looked every where (craigslist, cars, autotrader)and I'm not finding low mileage or private sellers. And this tl's is from a dealer up in yonkers, I'm about to call them and see if I can negotiate and get price down .

 

So i finally installed these for FREE!! lol i saw a DIY and went to my boys body shop in Hempstead and he let me use all of his equipment. While i had my car on a lift i changed my inner/outter tie rods on both driver/passenger side and installed a progress RSB... car feels super stock, and the handling is very serious. I couldnt be any happier.. my damping is at 9/11 right now and im happy...havent tried it on the stiffest setting yet... I will be installing a rv6 strut bar so that i dont have to remove my oem strutbar everytime i want to mess around with the damping...

 

btw, dont judge my cars cleaniness...it snowed yesterday lol

 

Looks good
