Tein Super Street coilovers for 300 bucks :)

[TSImonkey]

So i went junkyard shopping this past weekend and i came accross for a second time an orange GST. I've seen this car a week before but was only interested in engine parts but the guy said the engine has bids on it and hes not selling any part of it. Anything else however goes. so i step back a little to take it all in, and i happen to notice green coilovers. Just to make sure i'm seeing what i think i'm seeing i lean over and check, nd lone behold I found meself some Tein coilovers. The guy told me he wanted 300 for the whole set. I tried bargening but he wouldnt budge. So i had them take 'em off for me, i brought them home, wiped them down, and they look BRAND NEW , not even a scratch on 'em, they are still shiny.

Before i took 'em tho i made sure they'll fit my AWD, found some websites and looked like the part number for a FWD and an AWD was the same, so i figured its gonna have to fit.

I cant wait to put on 'em next weekend. I'll post pics when i'm done..hopefully.
heres a pic of the set tho:

That rear one has the bolt still in there cause my dad was paranoyed whether it came with the coilovers or whether its a stock part from the car . the other side of the car was missing the rotor, so hence only one bolt .

Argh all the junkyards in my area with cars like ours have been completely molested, if there happens to be anything left they want an arm and a leg for it.

I don't even have a dsm but if I seen those for that price i would have bought them. damn that was a steal. was it hard to hold back that evil grin while you were asking a price for those?

Nice find!

I wish junkyards around here were like that.

 

[deerhunter0881]

nice find, some time people get lucky. When I was in Philadelphia some people live in the junk yards looking for what others missed. I found a $ 50 dollar bill one time. Good luck

 

[Doubleot]

Good find man
I officially hate you.

 

[Dsmj89]

Lucky punk .

 

[eclipsetuner23]

you lucky son of a! i'll buy them for $400

 

[donswan]

Good for you bad for everyone else, like them all the DSM's in the junk yards are raped.

 

[my dreamt dsm]

Wait, tein had a recall! Sell it to me and I'll fix it. ! My b day is soon u can send them to me. U got pm... Just kidding!

 

[spawn87]

yeah i just bought some tein ss set up for 600 of a buddy and love them i though i got lucky but you take the win.

 

[draculia]

Damn, that's a nice catch. I thought I made out great picking up a set for 575 shipped, but then I found out the rear dampers needed a rebuild to the tune of 400

 

[2drStunner]

WOW! Nice find! IM jealous.

 

[acdavis25]

He might sell them to you now since he got them in 2006

 

[eclipse-gs-t]

[Gamble97]

Why is it the junkyards by me have nothing but JUNK. You are lucky to score a good looking taillight if you can.
