Fs: Tein Ra
i may have a set of tein RA's for sale from our 1999 gs400
they are currently still on the car. i'm guessing less than 5k mi on them because the last time the dealership saw this car for service was at ~60k mi/late 2004 and it was still on the stock suspension, and the car now has 64k mi. i like them very much but the parental units think the ride is too stiff so they have to go
so i'm posting to see if it generates enough interest because i need the $$$ from the sale of the RA's to get something else softer.
retail price is listed at $1410usd on http://www.tein.com .
specs can be found on http://tein.com/ti/y98.html .
[EDIT] i have wrenches now!
asking $950usd + shipping (UPS standard ground). payment via USPS or western union INTERNATIONAL money order only... if paypal please add 3% to cover for their service charges .
thanks

I'm not looking to buy but just wanted to make sure for other members. Do you know if these RAs are the new ones? When did the previous owner install these? There was a previous version of the RA which was discontinued. The ones on the website just got re-introduced earlier this year.
The pricing is pretty nice if this is the newer version.
Out of curiosity, what is the difference between the USPS/WU MO and a cashier's check in terms of wait time? I understand your reasoning for the conditions but I would have lumped these MOs and CCs together since $ is taken upfront by the organization issuing the MO/check in both cases.

are there any identifying marks on it to indicate which version it was? i have no packaging or paperwork (or wrenches for that matter ) for the coilovers. what i see on the car looks like what is shown on the website. all i know is that it was installed within the last 6-12 months because the lexus dealership it went to for it's last service back then says it still had a stock suspension at that time.
my bank takes almost 15-30 days to clear a cashier's cheque issued outside of canada. i have been scammed before with bogus foreign cashier's cheques and i don't want a repeat. western union or usps money orders are immediate.

i really like these RA's, but on 20's the impact over some of the crap we call roads here is too harsh for mom and dad. it was briefly on 17's and the problem went away... but i *need* 20's... gotta have bling
Wow. I did not know that. That sucks for both sides. The buyer's $ is already gone from their account to issue the check and the seller still has to wait. The $ is sitting in some limbo in between.
Anyway, good luck with the sale.

Yes, you can order from Tein ... The Tein RA are not that uncomfy, i guess better than the HA.
Give Tein a call and perhaps they can advise and/or tell you what version you have.
