Looky what I picked up yesterday! (56K bottoms out?)

Buddyworm · 06-27-2005, 04:34 PM

A set of Tein FLEX for my S13! Used of course, but in pristine condition and only with about 3000K on them. I can't wait to put these suckers in.

Let me guess why, because they were made by the drift kings company, right?

Tein is the best selling suspension products company in Japan. They didnt get that reputation by selling sh!t man, I can guarantee you that.

Coiloverkid · 06-27-2005, 05:11 PM

yeah..Kei Office is nice...BUT

lets see you take apart your K.O. coilovers and ship them to japan to be rebuilt, and wait 6 weeks... or ... drive to downey and have Ippei rebuild them while-you-wait!

drift240 · 06-27-2005, 05:38 PM

Sweet buy. They look great.

s13daver · 06-27-2005, 07:02 PM

nice buy man, you will love friday night drift sessions now at d-sport.

craziazzmofo66 · 06-27-2005, 07:30 PM

see....the thing is most of us can barely afford tein.....which i think r expensive as it is.....so...i dont even like to think about Koffice.....:edit: i just think its too much money for what its worth.....

Oki Drifter · 06-27-2005, 07:52 PM

well garages are comin out with new, more affordable suspension kits now for 1G
KTS, from what i can tell, started the trend and now CSC has a fully adjustable kit out for a grand, and D-Drug's come out with their own that come with external tanks.......and many other unknown garages are also coming out with their own low priced suspension

dancinghobo · 06-27-2005, 08:53 PM

yah im immature. and oki drifter those d-drug coilovers sound pretty sweet w/ external tanks. got any pics or links to the site?

hahaha... that's funny and I doubt you can actually tell the difference between the two brands... so please explain why you think TEIN sucks and KEI OFFICE is better. KEI OFFICE makes excellant products and so as TEIN. TEIN is bang for the buck with its quality and performance.

Hah, I can hardly afford used Teins. But I'm also pretty sure there's a reason Teins are one of the best selling brands.

Thanks folks. I'll write home about my experiences once they're in

nice set man. i also have teins and i take offense when kids say they suck, sepcially since the kid prolly doesnt even have a license or car or job.

Haha, what a tool. They're definitely the most roxorz shocks out there because Drift Kings company makes them right?

Anyhoo, nice coils. Black and green looks good

F.D.S_DORIKIN · 07-02-2005, 06:59 PM

Ohh so you bought them off of Rob, I was excited to see them on necc then he said they were sold.

Nice buy

Bio-Hazard · 07-02-2005, 07:35 PM

SmogSUX · 07-03-2005, 07:01 AM

You got ripped off. 3000k on them

k= thousand, so 3 million miles on em? jk jk..I haven't slept and it sounded funny at the time. I really want some of those for my FC =/ too poor though so I'll try and be content with my KYB agx

apexdrift · 07-03-2005, 11:48 AM

no they arent made by the drift king and they are one of the best suspensions out there. I like teins also they are a good alternative to the big $$$ coilovers like kei office but they arent made by kei office just designed by keichii to his specs. They are made by a huge suspension manufacturer in japan the same that makes silk roads if I am not mistaken.

oh btw I am not dog'in the teins at all. but anyone one of you that has dog'd the kei office coilovers obviously have not ridden in them. the stroke/spring rate/dampening make one of the best handling nicest riding (for the spring rates) most controlled s14's I have ridden in. They really are worth the money.

Nismo241 · 07-18-2005, 09:50 PM

Tein, I would imagine would be the best selling because they are cheap, in relative to other sets. I'm not saying they suck, but they feel cheap as well when adjusting, they just don't seem to well manufactured. I've ridden on them a bunch and they feel on the road.

i'm pretty sure kei office, silk roads, and gp sports coilovers are all made by the same manufacturer

lateral-g · 07-19-2005, 01:08 PM

I have the same Tein Flex's on my S14, and i love them. Perfect combo of daily drivability and performance. However, i ever get hardcore into drifting and stop driving my car everyday, i may step up to a stiffer setup. But you will love them! I love mine!
