Looking for TEIN Basics
Sup y'all

As the title says, I'm looking for a set of Tein Basics for a 2002 sedan. Does anyone know any good places that has the best price around GTA or surrounding area? I called Automotive Warehouse (Niagara) and they quoted $1250 CDN.

Initially I was looking for a set of Tokico HP's, since I just needed to replace the struts/shocks. But for some odd reason no one carries them. Then I figured I might as well just spend the money and grab coilovers.

Anyone have any suggestions?

BTW: Since I have an 02, will I still need the upper mounts or no? To my understanding its only required for the 03 or 04 and up.

Thanks in advance. 		To remove this ad, register today for free or log in if already registered!

Yeah! I actually just sent him a PM last night about it. He's all the way in London though.

2 hours, isn't really 'All the WAY', not to mention that if you want them you could have R1Style bring them with him on his way to my place on the 21st

Yo... You sat in my car.. Get the KYB AGX.. If memory serves.. Tein Basics don't have damping adjustments... If you don't need to adjust your ride height.. go with a nice set of springs and adjustable shocks

Yeah, but I can't find anyone that sells anything TOKICO or KYB for our cars around GTA. But good point, I am actually looking more into shocks/struts now.

Oh yeah. I found a set on Truehonda.com. $389 + shipping. Has anyone from Canada ever dealt with them? Any costs aside from shipping (tarriffs, border costs, etc) that were extra?

389*1.2*1.15+50+30 = 616.82 Cdn

So to those with TEIN's, I heard that we need an upper strut mount?
