Default Tein basicdamper kit

my friend is selling a fair condition tein basic damper kit that he took off from his 96 integra for 500 dollars with skunk 2 camber for the front and was wondering if it's a good deal and would it fit on a 92-95 civic hatchback?

yes it will fit on your 92-95 civic, is it a good deal, well depending on the condition and how many mileage. since you guys are buddies. tell him to hook it up for $400. you can get the tein basic damber brand new for $720.

if your patient, you can find a good deal usually for brand new ones. it takes a lot of web searching and site comparisons but many sites offer like 110% price match. I bought my basics a while ago and dont remember where but I remember them price matching and I got them for under $700.

I got my basic dampers for 300 and I love them. But you sont need a camber kit, my camber is perfect without 1 just get a professional alignment
