they are used with aprox 30k miles on them.

30k their probably blown or just about ready for a rebuild, so you'd have to send em in..

i think its somewhere around 100 a shock

if you need to rebuild them your looking at spending the same amount it would cost for new Megans or Ksports.. Check the vendor section for deals..

thanks for the quik replys.
i was kinda on the fence with them because of the 30k miles on them but at least i have an idea of how long they last and this will help in future when checking out any others.

I would be weary. 30k doesn't sound like a lot but we don't know if he lowered all the way of not. For Tein CS, the lower you go, the less shock travel you'll have. A lot of shocks don't like to work when they're too compressed.So 30k at full height is different than 30k all the way down.

Hmmm interesting concept...

its because teins are not fully adjustable.
they can only droop the spring to lower it.....which sucks, cuz even megans dont do that

Tein CS weren't made to slam the car. This coilover is for those who want to lower their cars enough but not looking for max drop.

Yet most coilovers available usually won't last that long if you are riding dumped.

Thanks for the info, guys... I'm also, looking to buy a set of coilovers. I need to check out the vendor section on here, yet. So I'll do that.
I want to drop it AT LEAST 2" or so... as far as I know the Tein CS (and CST aka "CS Version 2") coilovers MAX drop is less than 2". Right?

The HKS LS/LS+ are the ones to get... What coilovers would everybody to be the best ride quality, while still offering a NICE drop (between 2-3")...

The Meghan Racing ones do look pretty nice...and they'd be BRAND NEW... people selling USED HKS LS+ coilovers typically want MORE for them than a set of Meghan coilovers cost, NEW... tough to decide.


BASICALLY THOUGH... to SLAM the car, the TEIN CS are out then?

You can go lower with the Megans vs the HKS. However, unlike the Tein, the HKS valvings are much better and can take more abuse. If you can find the LS+, I'd go with that.

OP, do yourself a favor and get BC Coils. It's wayyyy better than the TEINS. Affordable at the same time.
