tein basic damper~

oky, i just checked that there's group buy going in groupbuycenter.com for ~ tein basic damper~ which costs 930 and get 15off = so total $915

http://groupbuycenter.com/buy.aspx?id=9598

so 915 seem a little bit high for me, imo. cuz i can get tein ss for like 1020 which retal for 1250. and that tein baisc damper retail 990.

so the question is: Hold it or Go for it?, cuz price might drop in next couple month~ what everyone think of this?

so, for tein basic damper, do we needed to have camber kit on, and do the alignment?
if these are must for lowering, plus the kit installation, uh....seem like to spend around 1300

need ur opinions pls.

uhh you will need alignment with any drop most likely. yes you will need camber kit. y not just get tein ss for 100 bucks more and get damper setting?

well, i thought about getting tein ss, but back to reality, for me, I dont need that damping adjusting, cuz i dont think i will need that in future, and 2nd i was trying not to spend that much on suspension, cuz my budget is 1000 for all thing included installation. but new stuff is not go any cheaper tho.....cuz if i get tein ss and plus alignment, camber kit, installation, might cost over 1300.

I remember you got tein ss right, so how much total u spent on suspension stuffs?

thanks

$915 is way high for the basic damper, but Tein lists it on their site for $990. all the others are like $750. I would wait a bit to see if the price goes down, if not just get the Tein SS. The basic isn't worth $900!

Where can you get the Tein SS for 1020? How much do you think you are going to pay for install?

Ask Rob at tornactive or look on groupbuycenter.com. You should be able to install it yourself with the right tools.

you're gonna want the SS.
The damping adjustability takes less than 1 minute to do.
It's nice to have a soft ride, then have a rock hard ride a minute later.
