Hi all.

I'm not looking to buy just yet, but after a set of Teins.
Preferably new.
Wondering where best place to source is, or if someone in the forum has ability to obtain.

Mate the best price i could get from memory was round 2k but that was a couple of yrs ago.

Ill have a look round and see what i can source.

I did find some over in Britain, price with shipping and conversion rate was $1500.
That was for the Super Street version.

I'm wondering, as I have seen BC brand? (Cheap Chinese?) for $1095, would they do just as good a job?

No one from here that i no has tried those ones, but there is quite a few of us rollin on the G4's (i have been using them for a couple of yrs now). And i highly recommend them. They were $1400 from Justjap, but you may even be able to get them cheaper now.

Isn't there a Tein supplier in Penrith?

Post by **I8A4RE** » Mon Nov 17, 2008 12:31 pm

Probably, there is TEIN suppliers all over the place but they want over 2k for them

So If I could score the Teins Way cheaper than 2K, I'm best to go for them?

Keep an eye on Ebay, I've seen sets of 2nd hand HA's go for under $500.

Just be wary with second hand units, I got 1 corner from my house after installing 2nd hand Teins & I blew the seal & bent the shaft on one. Was $500 to have the front pair reco-ed.

Yeah, don't wish to go 2nd hand for that exact reason.
Simply want to slip in its new suspension and drive it.

Have just read, that the set I can attain do not come with the pillow ball mounts, but can be used with the factory OEM mounts.

Does this simply means I cannot adjust camber?

Correct. Unless you use camber pin bolts or buy the tops.
