just curious on their worth...i've seen them used for around $700 and was wondering how accurate that was.

 

TEIN doesn't carry the HA's for the EF anymore... They do have the Basic MSRP $750 and Super Street MSRP $1000. $700 for used HA's isn't too bad. Just make sure they don't need to be rebuilt. To rebuild it cost MSRP$75 and revalve $100. Good luck with your suspension hunt.

 

Ya, I talked to a rep at Tein USA and he said the only kits available (straight bolt in) were the basic and SS. He said that one could run an ITR kit (let's say..like the Flex) and just have to run the '88 RLCAs. So it would end up costing too much money to make it worthwhile.....

 

oh i already have the Tein HA's on my car I was curious on how much I could get for them.

 

Are they really made for the EF??? Or did you get these awhile back?

 

I had HA's on my CRX a while back. With them you have to run the 88/ITR LCA's if you have a 89-91. Mine didnt have any rust and had pretty low miles on them. I also had the upper pillow mounts. I baught them brand new for $1500 and sold them a few months back for $800 with the LCA's. Of course yours would depend on condition and what not for how much they would go. Along with miles and if they need to be rebuilt. I loved mine when I had them, but they just where not stiff enough for me. I will be stepping up to a better coilover in the near future.

 

how does everyone like their teins? I have tociko blues with skunk2 and they suck *** for ride quality and handling.

If you're on a tight budget (like myself) I'd prolly just step up to some adjustable shocks. That could be a major difference. Along with Elwood's extended shock mount, KYB AGX's and some better springs...I could probably get a nice setup.

Get rid of the crap Tokico's and you should be fine. The Blue's are pretty much just like stock shocks... not much of an upgrade. Also, try to get shocks with valving that can handle your spring rate. If they don't match you will get a crappy ride and might even blow the shocks.

The fronts wont cause a problem?

You can use the ITR's on your 88 Si no problem. Since you already have the rear stuff. But for the front you need EG or DC front lower Forks. The ones that attach to the shocks on the bottom. Your 88 Si one are to small diameter and wont work.

If I may ask why do you want to get an ITR setup on your car? I mean you can do it no problem, but there are far better setup out there that are made for our cars.
