Near new Tein Flex, travelled around 5,000kms. Will pass any inspection. Come with EDFC Controller and solenoids (worth over $450) , 8kg/cm (Front) & 6kg/cm (Rear)

Circumstances have changed and i have sourced higher spec shocks with alloy bodies which i hope will better suit the track work my car does.

Asking $1600 for shocks, EDFC and even stickers :worship:. Located in melbourne, rather not post, but willing to courier at buyers expense.

SOLD

Cant honestly answer as they are in my living room. If someone buys my Bilsteins i have for sale then these will be going in for a month or so until my new springs/shocks etc are sorted. If someones buys these then Bilsteins will stay in the car until the new gear is arrived.

If your looking for day to day comfort and still great handling the Bilsteins are far better for the street. My theory is with normal road tyres you never have enough grip to need this high a spring rate on the street. But my car is mostly used for drving to/from the track, with the occassional long run interstate so...ride comfort was not such a concern when i grabbed the Teins

I purchased these as on the track the higher spring rates (which are the std springs for the teinss...so i hope well matched) will mean that with semi slicks on and far higher grip levels and corner speed, the car would be a little more balanced with less pitch under brakes. For a street car i cant see them being bear as good as the Bilsteins. On the track the Bilsteins would be equally as good, until you put real grippy semi slicks on the car then the Bilsteins fall over a little without re-valving for higher spring rates (well thats my 2c anyway :worship: )

Have got another set of Teins, though they are the RA. I understand that they are the top of the range Tein, only ones better are the ones with the remote reservoir. They are alloy, and the Melb workshop who i want to use has done some great things with them on other peoples cars....so will see.

    • I suppose that's true. Barring almost any situation, I'll never sell so what the market does is kind of irrelevant to me. It's possible I'd make most of my money back. That spreadsheet I mentioned? Maybe I could make back more than what the car's total costs thus far are, but the parts and all that is possibly a different story... Thanks for reading. It was certainly a good moment and just makes the ties to the car that much stronger. It's exciting that the option will be there to bring it over, however I have some plans with a shop that may end up keeping the car there longer, not sure. Coupled with the fact I want to move there and haven't solidified any path yet. So in a way, it feels like I'm in a limbo state that is uncertain; time will tell.
    • No worries, everything worked out in the end. I just wanted to make the point that it doesn't matter where it comes from (I.E Australia), it can be broken or improperly built. I would still purchase from these companies in the future. B2R - Not certain how that finished, this was on a car I wired a few things and street tuned. I know the owner ended up shipping the motor back to Australia for investigation. Hopefully some of it is covered under warranty.  Turbosmart - I always pressure test everything that goes on my car. It's a habit from my career in oil and gas. I run two 40mm's and both had major leaks from the actuator to exhaust portion through the shaft. I returned both, they shipped me back two and one was leaking and the other had a 38mm top (40mm gate with 38mm actuator cap, no idea how that happens). Eventually after a lot of back and forth I found myself with two non-leaking gates. I believe this happens a lot more then people would like to believe but you would never know if you don't pressure test them prior to installation. Crank Motorsport - Issued a full refund and let me keep the seat rails. I turned them into scrap metal for other projects. GKTech - Shipped me out a replacement and asked that I modify it as per my idea and that they would do the same for a future revision. ATP - Can just needed a large shim to bolt up properly.  Haltech - They started an actual proper Beta channel for firmware's a few months back and stopped using the general public for testing. I'm now much happier.  Speedtek - f**k Speedtek. I would love to watch them burn.     
    • I've got a Turbosmart wastegate, ATP catch can, many GK Tech parts and Haltech everything. Everything's been perfect, sorry to hear your experience wasn't the same
    • The only high-power RB I've personally seen go pop after running for all of an hour on a dyno was built by B2R, while being remotely tuned by B2R. The only wastegates I've ever had leak like a sieve, return, still leak, return and get shipped back the wrong ones were from Turbosmart. The only final drive that I've ever purchased that were unusable, twice... were from Speedtek. The only seat mounts that I've ever purchased that placed the seats in the door frame were from Crank Motorsport. The only poorly designed parts that I had the manufacturer confirm should have been designed as per what I mentioned were from GKTech. The only ECU I've had firmware updates consistently break things are Haltech. The only catch can I've purchased that didn't fit in its advertised spot was from ATP. So forth and so on... Moral of the story, doesn't matter where it's from. Do your research beforehand and stick with products and companies you've trusted in the past.    @joshuaho96 If you want it done right, do it yourself.
