Where to buy Tein coilovers?

What is the best place to buy Tein SS, or Basics? How about bixenons for the coupe? I called CarLab and the guy said that the bixenons for the coupe are hard to get.

Thanks. I called CarLab and asked about both: Lights and coilovers. The guy said he will call me back with prices.
I will try to call MBenzNL about Lights.

I concur - there's only one source for bix on a coupe. Otherwise you can do what some others have done and ordered the clear lens upgrade? Shouldn't be more than $500 for both sides (either way, update the look of the car).

Thank You guys. I am going to get the teins from carlab, but not yet. I will wait untill spring next year. Winters in Michigan are not nice so there is no reason to hurry in lowering the car.
I kind of stoped dreaming about bixenons. I will definatley consider the clear haeadlights.
I just ordered a nav unit (AVIC D2) so my monney is going in that dirrection right now.
Oh, and I did ordered the clear fog lights as well and I am still waiting for those to get here.

Well aren't you going to comment on the best quality install for your money found on ANY side of the bay area? . Cheers (now post up the pics, you know, to scare the surrounding competition ).

You might want to check the availabilty on BIX setup from Steve sooner than next year. Since the W204 is scheduled for release sometimes next year. Mercedes will reduce the production on all non fast moving parts for W203. it maybe hard for steve to get a hold of one unless you get it at the dealer.

As for the TEINS you can wait till spring next year, there will be no problem with inventory.

Just my suggestions.

I talked to Steve and he has no bix for the coupe, and he also said that he will not get any. They are hard to find. So I think if nothing comes up by spring I will get the clear headlights from the MB dealer.
The car will be lowered in the spring so I will contact you then.

$1600 Its reasonable at least better than what dealers charged you.

Thank You For The Tip!!!
That is a little to much. I do not want them that much .
It would be a great improvement to the car looks but to me it is not worth it.
There are still a lot of mods that I could do to make the car look better than just waist 1600 for just headlights. I need coilovers and wheels in the spring so I will just save for that right now. I want Tein Basics and NZO wheels.
