Tein is NUTS!!

All the other basic kits are under $800, but for our cars, NOOOOOOOO, they are over $900 for a basic damper!! I can't believe they are really charging that much!

remember our front suspension has those stupid control arms, it's a bit more complex than the other cars.

but it does... you check any shocks or true coilover suspension with mcpherson struts and they usually cost more. the steering arm is the whole reason why koni decided to go with inserts. its one reason why its taking so long for tokico and other shock manufactures to come out with a new shock for us. sometimes its not $100 but up to $250 more.

look at the koni yellows, they retail for a similar price compared to other models, but they're freakin' inserts!
