Eddie, the $810 on ebay is a good price, considering that they are $890 list on the TEIN website.
Only thing is, if you're not going to be installing these yourself, you'd have to expect at minimum, a $100 install (if not more). My suggestion is to go with a company that can get the Basic's for you and quote you a price (including install)...unless of course you do the install yourself.

it may be $810, but don't forget about shipping....otherwise, it still a great coilover for the price.
oh by the way, i also love the ride, so i say get'em.

He got tein ss coilover installed and he said it is at the LOWEST setting in the rear. Is tein basic's lowest setting is lower than SS? Or is his setting isnt at the lowest setting?

Johnny has 19's. Believe it or not, it makes a difference from the 19's (w/30 series tires) and 17's (w/40 series tires). The rear tires are tucking into the fender and the fronts are sitting right below the fender.
Any lower than that and it will probably be counter productive driving on the street.

I just check with the Ebay seller they are out of stock
What should I do?
I might just roll on some H&R Sport Springs, maybe a cut a coil or something
I have 50K on my shocks you think they hold up?
Thanks
Ed
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
I just order a set from another seller on Ebay, I got it for 756.00 plus 70.00 to ship, cheper the the other guy. I am going to install these myself.
I got 19's do I need spacers like Johnny did, he got spacers because of the 17's that he use right
Thanks

Here are some better pictures.

Yes, the fronts can go lower, the rear is at the lowest settings. I just got new tires and upgraded to 275 in the rear.
Yes, you need spacers if you get Teins CO if you have my set up. 19 by 8.5 fronts and 9.5 rears with 38 mm offset all around. I'm using 12.1 mm spacers fronts and 7.1 mm spacers rear. Custom made by Design Deluxe, no vibration.
Yes, I'm also using H&R 5 mm front spacers for the 17 inch C32 AMG wheels.
The Tein's CO are much thicker than the stock suspension. So be prepared to make some adjustment or you'll be rubbing against the shocks. Good Luck.

Maybe I need to have it trimmed/shaved?
