CHEAP Tein S-Techs
Can anyone actually confirm that this is for real? And that the springs are really for a Protege and not a Mazda3 like the picture suggests? Helluva deal for sure ..

Well, they should be real if the seller is reputable. But there was a scandal some time back where some e-bay sellers (and other vendors) were selling counterfeit Teins.
|
Yea I remember that .. this very well could be it.
|
you COULD always call them and find out. Those springs don't look like they're for the protege, but it could just be a stock photo, not the ACTUAL product.
|
I dunno .. I don't really care cuz I'm satisfied with my current springs but I was just throwing it out there for anyone that might be interested. I know there's been a few people on here talking about S-Techs so I'm just throwing it out for people to take advantage if it's for real.
|
they appear to be on clearance, so sometimes retailers will lose money just to get rid of stuff that's just sitting in their inventory, but a great deal if the real thing.
|
Tein knockoffs are so rampant that I'd be wary of buying from any reseller you don't actually know.. i.e. if Ken sold me fake teins I could hunt him down lol
the drop numbers they give are for the sedan, for the P5 it'll give a much better, more even drop (less in the front, but a little more in the rear) The part number listed is in fact for the Protege, so you're golden (unless those are fakes)! the counterfeiters are really good too... http://www.tein.com/counterfeit/img/Box_to_Box.jpg http://www.tein.com/counterfeit/img/Real%20Label.jpghttp://www.tein.com/counterfeit/img/Real%20Label.jpg http://www.tein.com/counterfeit/img/point%205.jpg http://www.tein.com/counterfeit/warning.html edit #6 or so: Vividracing is an authorized TEIN dealer so buy buy buy!! they probably are jumping ship and getting rid of all their Protege parts since we're so 'old news' |
Anyone can put authorized dealer on their website, doesn't mean they are. Unless they are directly linked through a dealer list on the manufacturers site then they are most likely not authorized.
|
|
even the regular listing has the same pictures though so I guess they just use the pics for all the listings? idk

idk about those it says 1 set on clearence and only a 1 year limited warrants seems like it may be a toss out or visually defected or something wrong what is tein's normal warranty
|
Normal tein warranty is one year.
|
well maybe im just skeptical
|
I was skeptical too, but they are an authorized tein dealer, have a posted street address on their site, etc.
I really do just think they are trying to get rid of the last remaining s-tech set for the Protege in their warehouse. |
