My Canadian brethren i need your help... I have decided on and for the life of me cannot find a site online that carries Tein... well for a good price anyway...

I have found 2 sites taht carry the Basics, 1 wants $892 for basics, the other wants $1,086.96CAD SHIPPED!!!! these prices are just fucking ridiculous...

this is freakin ridiculous i could order from the US, but the last time i ordered a part from the US that was $500+ i was charged $114 for brokerage and customs charges :thumbdown:

I need you guys to let me know of any site that carries them for the normal $700 range... and not ebay either.

I hope this works better then i am thinking it will :( ... if this keeps up i may just have to go with the Ksports after all :(

Ok so i've decided, if i can't find Tein Basic's by the time i get the money squared together, i'm getting the PIC Apex P1 coilovers, very similar to dampening and spring rates to the Tein Basics.

so the long awaited decision has finally come...

Dont the PICs have adjustable rebound and bound? Like the D2s, Ksports and such.

well the Select series ones do. The Apex ones are only adjustable height.

They are still wicked awesome. I couldnt be happier with how my car handles.

you already found the teknotik site. i was gonna post that one. they've got some decent stuff. local for me aswell. you can easily send them an email. i asked them if they could hook me up with a h22a tuned p28, seeing as they don't have one there site. they said no prob, let us know when you want it.

yeah it seems to be a good site, they are the only authorized distributor of PIC suspension products in Canada, and am almost certain i am going to buy those from them. :thumb:

What suspension do you have anyway Brandon?

when i bought it, the guy said stock height, it's not stock height, it sits to low for stock height.

don't buy basics gorveatt. They will offer such 1way adjustment.


PIC APEX at least has 2 way adjustable height. (Spring perch and shock height)

Basic is truly basic.

On a true coilover the spring perch is NOT a height adjuster.
