Tein Basic suspension group buy?

I can get a real good deal on Tein Basics. If I can get a few people to join the group buy I can make this happen. I need atleast 5-10 people then I'll post the price. 11+ would be an even better deal! The only thing with these coilovers is that 02-03 Must buy 01 CIVIC Top Mt. Bearing Incl 04+.

straight off Tein's website



TEIN Type BASIC damper is for the driver that is seeking high performance with a reasonable price. The Basic damper MSRP starts at $750.00, which includes 4 springs and 4 shocks. Compared to the "sleeve type" coil over, the Type Basic has a more exclusive set up for a better balance of suspension travel and damping force.

* High performance and cost effective.
* Ride Height adjustable.
* New paint coating for rust prevention.
* Pillow ball mounts are optional (on certain applications).
* Exclusive design for USA vehicle specifications.
(only available for the U.S.A Market).
* Available for overhaul.


Contents of damper kit
Height Adjustable shock absorber x4, Main spring x4
Lower spring seat x4, Seat lock x4, Thrust washer x4
Bump rubber x4, Dust cover x4
Hook spanner x2, Instruction manual
*Strut suspension comes with upper spring seat.

I mean a REAL GOOD DEAL!

If there's enough people these can be cheaper than almost all the generic brands out there.

I've been told we need the upper mount. Which I'm guessing is 10&11 shown here.

on that site they are $25 per. so $50 total if I am looking at the right part. I'd ask someone w/ the kit before you ordered

Or you can try a local junkyard for 01 civic upper mounts or rsx top mounts work as well.

The only thing with these coilovers is that 02-03 Must buy 01 CIVIC Top Mt. Bearing Incl 04+.
the last part the incl 04+ means that 04 and 05 also need the top mount? that statement is not very clear.

It means that the bearings are included in 04+ civics.
But the thing is you'll need the green upper spring seats instead of the gold.
I don't know if Tein will supply you with both or one or the other.
