The New Tein CS
So, how much does a set of 4 cost? And where can I get them? Which CL vendors sell Tein products?

TM Engineering and Carson. Now might not be a good time to contact them with SEMA happening. They should be available next week.

Thanks, Neo. I'm about due for a new set. Might as well replace the old Tein CS with the new Tein CS.

Can you share why you need to replace the old Tein CS? leaking already? how many miles you put on the old Tein CS?
I own one and running on it for almost 35K miles already.

Man, how much driving do you do that you are "due for a new set"?

I always wonder how long my CS will last. the roads I drive are not bad so hopefully that'll prolong their life.

Also try status auto design out of Hermosa Beach, talk to David. 310-937-8382, they did a great job with my GS and were available on a Saturday.

I have less than 12k on mine. My car has not seen road time for awhile so the mileage has not grown too much.

What happens when they start leaking? Will the car start to sag or something?

no the spring will support the car, but you will lose your damping and the car may start to bounce

Anyone know if the Tein CS fixes the camber problem or does it have some kind of adjuster on it?

What constitutes "maintenance"? Cleaning them regularly?

well i mean no abuse like banging on the suspension, etc... and of course, try to turn the dampening and also grease the coils. those all helps
