Default Been searching for coilovers, is this a good price?

I have been trying to decide which coilovers to get for a long time. There are those guys out there that swear the Mugens are worth the money, but I cant find anything bad about the Teins either. I have come across some Tein basic adjustable coilovers, brand new, for $820 plus $50 shipping from what appears to be a reputable ebay store. I am just wondering how good a price this is in the market right now for a basic coilovers for an 05 ep3?

Before George blasts me about lowering an ep3 to much, I am not really interested in the lowering capabilities, just the fact that they are $200 cheaper and appear to do the same job. I only want about an inch and a half drop with good DD handling and something that can make the occasional track run.

Thanks ahead of time.

Does anyone know if Omni Power is selling the "second gen" coilover for the ep3.?I heard the first one didnt work so well, but that a re-engineered coilover package was going to be coming soon.

I like the Tiens overall feel, however it's been proven that there spring rates deteriorate over time unlike springs produced by eibach.

Unless you are going to corner weight the car I would suggest
