[Euro] Tein Suspension

Hmmm
Thanks for that reply Chris F

It appears then that in Australia, the distributors of the "Aus spec" Tein are being told incorrect information and passing this on to customers.
My very recent information, which apparently came direct from Fxxxxxx, is that "after purchasing a Euro for R&D and making changes to the valving", they have incurred huge expenses and intend to protect their financial committment.
What a load of fxckxn' crap!

Ppl need to know the truth... your a legend Chis F for having the inside knowledge.

.....the truth is out there...........lol

Well this was when they first started bringing the suspension over, and what I posted is exactly what i was told at the time.

It may be that they've since changed there mind and updated the design?

I wouldn't be able to tell you because I haven't spoken to or dealt with them for a year or so now.

I think someone who works at fulcrum was on the forum once before so hopefully they can clear that up?

but so far that's the story

Does anyone have the Tein SS installations instructions in English? My install is tommorow and its all in Japanese!

A link to it or i can PM my email if you guys will be kind enough to help me. Cheers

Nah its ok found it here for TSX http://www.tein.com/ti/inst/ka64u.pdf should do the job. cheers

Read somewhere that Australian distributors may refuse to fix any problems with the tein coilovers if they arent the Aus-sepc. Is this true, or is that in regards to warranty?
Also, can coilovers be repaired at any suspension shop (located in Sydney)?
hahah...just want clues before i get myself a set of Tein ss possibly jap-spec

cheers

Mine going great. I think mine are Jap as there were fron hong kong. Im not worried about warranty. In 2-3 years from now i'll have either sold the car or theres dozens of places that can rebuild shocks, its not rocket science...

Its a warranty issue only.

You can't expect to buy something overseas that does not carry an international warranty and have a local dealer fix it. Things like laptop computers are the exception with world wide warranties, but if you buy a TV or something from japan and expect panasonic in Australia to fix it under warranty you'd be pretty much pushing sh!t up hill.

I know that Fulcrum can get parts from TEIN japan for anything you send to them, but be prepared to pay the bucks for them to do so.

Before buying my Jap-spec tein coilovers I verified that there are Aussie shock repairers who obtain their parts from overseas. (and not thru Fulcrum)

Make a few phone calls like I did to locate a local Tein rebuilder. I was quoted $165 for a rebuild for Jap-spec as against $220 for Fulcrum to rebuild "aussie spec"...lol

Just wondering where would be the cheapest place to get some Tein SS for the Euro? and rough prices i should be looking at so i know a ball park figure.

Does anyone know if its true that they've Discontinued the Tein SS Coilovers for CL7/CL9?
