Default Tein coilover ??'s

I have a buddy wanting to sell complete tien coilovers for 500-750. They were on his EG, but never even saw 200 miles.

??'s are, Is it a good deal? They are like 15 point adjustables, Not sure what lvl of there brand. Also, How hard is a install? Can it be done over the course of 2-3 days? How difficult is it?

Installation of coilovers is pretty straight forward. Most of the time the problem is getting old seized/rusted/stripped bolts and nuts loose.

To elaborate its the rear lower control arm bolts that usually become seized. If this happens you may have to burn out the bushing and replace it with a new one by pressing it back in. I hear thats a bitch

Honestly, there are MUCH better coilovers that the Tein SS, for the same price...if not less. Personally, I would go with D2 coilovers! 36-way damping adjustable, height adjustable, mad tyt3 jDm PuRpLe finish!....all for a VERY reasonable price.
Much better than Tein in my opinion...

I have a set on my Eg, and I think it's one of the best investments I've made.
