Where's the best place/price to get a set of tein s-tech's? i'm a big ebayer but with all the knock off springs on there it's not worth the risk to save a couple bucks.

:evilbat: NO! EBay is ok sometimes, but don’t get any car parts off of it. People get the years wrong all the time. I got gen 2 stuff when it was listed as 99-01. It is just a bunch of BS.

If you must order from EBay I would make sure you find the exact part number of the item you are looking for, then e-mail the seller to verify the item they are offering is the part you are looking for.

Happy hunting

always a good idea to verify with the buyer the part numbers before buying for sure. and if you can't find out, or if they don't know, then don;t buy


personally, I've bought a ton of things off of ebay for my car, and everything came though just fine. just do your research first

looks like the metal lip of the body panels has been painted.. If so, then it looks really good.

I got mine off of ebay. Check the pics for the ACTUAL product not a stock photo. The Tein logo should be painted onto the spring not a sticker.

I forgot the price I got them for, but they were a good deal with free shipping.

As always with ebay, reputability and common sense.
