Tein's to good to be true? - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #45806 16 posts Started by Vissi
I ordered some s.techs from www.apexr1.com at like 160$, but they canceled my order for some reason and they dont answer there phones.
I found this site and was wondering if anybody has done any buisness with them, it seems there on ebay to. They seem a bit shady, but i found some threads on other forums with group buys from them.

There site

Just pay the extra to get a set of TRD springs. They have the same drop, are probably better quality and after talking with the people at Toyota and ordering mine apparently there are now only 4 sets left.
kurumamotoring sells authentic teins on ebay, i got mine for 150 shipped and luv them, several 6gc's have got them from him no complaints

TRD's are just Eibach's wink.gif No need to overpay unless you just want the name.

actually they are diferent. they are madde by the same manufacturer as far as I know. I have the TRDs with KYB GR-2 and I should say they feel way better than my stock springs.

I think is because the shocks were gone, laugh.gif

X-Cart store.... hey make sure you use "File System" instead of "Database" for images. Your website is freaking slow.

Yeah they made be made by the same company but they don't both offer the same drop. I know that the TRD's also have a single rotation of the coil that is soft, performance and comfort in one. Not to say that the Eibach's don't because I have no idea since I haven't actually held any lol. But yeah, different drops so they're not exactly the same.
