Default Tein Flex

Im trying to locate "1" tein flex coilover for my S (drivers side front). Any idea where I can purchase one from? I contacted Fizz which is in NY and they told me they may be able to get one by July. Being that purchasing just 1 coilover is considered a special order, I can understand the wait. I would really like it sooner than July but I dont want to buy a complete set.

I wish it was that easy, I emailed a few places from the tein usa home page. Fizz was the only one that kinda helped me out. Evasive motor sports in CA also said they would be able to help, but their price was double from what Fizz was charging me. That was a kick to the stomach

If TEIN USA can't help you, then your original lead may be the best bet. Buying one is almost impossible, like you said.

I just made some calls

-Evolutionautosports was not able to help with this special order.

-Pure-tuning asked me to call them back, Keith was busy at the moment.

There must be atleast 1 shop out there that has a drivers side front tein flex coilover as display *j/k*, but it would be great if it was true

Keith from pure-tuning was willing to sell if he had a tein flex kit, but he doesnt have at the moment. He was willing to help so for pure-tuning.

Got a quote from Fullthrottle. Seems like they can get it in a week for less than evasive and a $100 more than what Fizz is charging.

So far these are the prices I been told.

Evasive $600 (in stock)

Fizz $290 (available in July)

Full throttle $400 (1 week) <-- thinking about it

A few places told me mid july. Fizz price sounds very good but the wait is a little depressing. Any other dealers/stores I should call? Let me know

Well I'm glad to hear they at least tried. Keith and Aaron are usually willing to go the extra mile to help out. They have great customer service and they preform solid work.

Why did you need one coil over?
Did the strut go out?

You do know Tein can repair/replace them here in the states

I have Tein Flex on my 240xx

I know tein can repair their coilovers. Mine is unrepairable though due to an accident. OBSeRiouso asked me to send him my broken coilover and he's gonna try to fix it himself j/k. Thanks for the help guys
