TEIN COILOVERS GROUP BUY This thead is to announce a group buy we want to run through our primary sponsor here in Sydney, IS Motor Racing Recently, ISMR had a visit from TEIN head office. Apparently they are doing good volumes now, and TEIN are talking to them about becoming TEIN distributors here in Sydney. To faciliate this, and to help demonstrate their club backing, ISMR wish to run a TEIN group buy for TEIN Super Street and TEIN Flex coilovers for all IS200/RS200 owners. The prices will depend upon the numbers we can get in on this group buy, so all who are interested please indicate here. Interstate buyers are welcome - ISMR are happy to organise shipping, which will be an additional $15-30. Product Details Super Street or FLEX? Essentially, these two coilover kits are, internally, almost identical. While TEIN will tell you they are, Indy at ISMR will tell you that they are 95% alike, internally. Super Streets are adjustable in height, although not to the extent of the Flex, but both kits are perfect for both street and light track work. Your car WILL handle better, WILL sit lower and WILL accelerate harder then stock with these coilovers. Buyers who spend extra to get the FLEX coilovers get the added bonus of damper adjustablility, and this can be futher enhanced by the EDFC controller which sits inside the car and allows you to adjust the dampers 'on the move' Both coilover kits come with a range of spring rate options which will allows you to futher customise the setup to suit your car and driving. ISMR are happy to assist buyers with the decisions, and will install and tweak your coilovers till your absolutely satisfied. Buyers should also be aware that FLEX coilovers are known to make some noise, whereas the Super Street do not. Niether is dramatic (you get the same with Koni and TRD setups). Why TEIN - with experience comes knowledge (can you believe i'm making this stuff up???). OK, here's the deal: Bilstein? Expensive, great for Euro and other heavy sedans. Great on our cars, but pricey. Koni - no longer made in Holland, unfortunately these aren't what they used to be. A good budget option, but for a small premium the TEIN's give you acceptional ride and handling. Many owners on these forums have nothing but praise for the TEIN's, and i can say with confidence that they are among the best options for suspension for our cars (i have tried numerous setups). *phew*. OK - whose interested? Or are these calloused hands in vain? :rolleyes: |

good to see something decent hopefully eventuating between the club and ismr. if i kept my car i would be going with this groupbuy for the new super racing teins.. 3 way adjustables. don't forget the after sales support with ismr when buying through them is nowhere to be matched elsewhere. my 0.2 - if you don't want any type of handling upgrade, go for super streets, else go for flex's. |

Currently negotiating on price... but we will need good numbers for the discounts to be of any significance (5 or more). |

I dont mean to be rude or anything, I've only been a member for 2 days so I dont want to get anyone offside, so please dont take this the wrong way but that is really expensive for Tein Flex. I know of an online shop that is selling Flex for $2,200 if not slightly less, shipped to your door. Brand new and you can pick your spring rates if you want. Please dont hit me LOL

hehe, I'm not one to fight. :ph43r: Yes that would be Greenline but Japan Parts also has them for cheaper but not as cheap as Greenline. Seriously I dont know how Greenline can sell stuff at the prices they do and make a profit but i'm not complaining. haha, just read your signature "take me to your touge" I love it. I ran the touge in the wrx today for one last time before it is pasted on to its new owner. not only that but I had to go see a client up the mountain, so I got to have fun and get paid at the same time. Now I know how a pimp feels.

oops sorry about the lack of reply on my part steve, prices are as follows. they are the prices ismr gave us to work with and thats the price we can offer. shipping, as matt said, add about $15 on top of it non members pricing is just the single unit price, they arent allowed to participate in the group buy |

these cheaper places declare imports as gifts so of course the final cost will be cheaper. you can take your risk at will. i'm sure they've been caught every now and then. it's upto you whether or not you want to risk your deposit at the end of the day. |
