yea... this is what they said, " Thank you for your interest in TEIN High Performance suspension products. Please contact the dealer that you bought your coilovers from and have them do an inspection. If they are our authorized dealer, they can send in your suspension products for us to do an inspection on. The valve usually don't make any noises. It is possible that it can be some other suspension components. We are sorry for the inconvenience." so what should I do next...

I'd say take it to them first and let them know what's going on with it. If they can't find the problem...do you still have the stock suspension?

and you can of course have k1 send you the invoice and help you contact TEIN to get TEIN to do the revalving thing or fix whatever's wrong with it.

Hey guys, quick question. Does the car need alignment after each adjustment to the coilovers?

supposely, but if you are not experiencing any problem with car tracking to the right/left, uneven tire wear, etc I wouldn't worry about it.

Sorry to bump the thread, but are anymore people having the "knocking" sound coming from their Tein coilovers? This is the only issue that's putting me off from buying the SS or the basics.

And for those of you who had the knocking, did you ever end up getting it resolved?

Thanks in advance for your help guys.

I have a question,

Do W203 Tein Basic COs really fit W209? Any year W209? No modifications needed?

Appreciate anyone's reply

Nick.

2007 C230 sport
whats up everyone i know im new here to the benz forum, but not new to the car scene in any way. with tein, their higher end products have been great over the years but all the basic, ss and the other series coilovers ive seen in my time with everyones cars i know all in some sort of way had a problem one way or another. i hope tein fixes the whole thing for you. really sad they are just shooting general copy and paste responses to the whole thing. im currently at a debat with coilovers right now. im currently on springs but am doing my stereo system real soon and i know itll sit squatting in the back =( lol
