Sparkystav Ive just bought some Toms Advoxs ones off ebay, see how they scrub up.

Already have TTE ones on but the TOMS are damper adjustable where as the TTE ones arent.

Another member already has first dibs on the TTE ones though

No worries mate, if he doesn't want them let me know, i'll be interested in taking them off you.

Bit worried about the fact that coilovers only last 18.5k before needing a service. EEK! I do more then that in a year!

Will the Tein SS need servicing as regular? Confusedhock:

Don't think the BC shocks are for me then, as I have some monster speed bumbs near me! :thumbup:

All Tein's are made in Japan and not somewhere else so the quality is top of the scale. Also they are known as one of the best aftermarket coilovers and all the good modded cars use them.

The endurance of the coilovers has to do with the quality and reliability of the coilovers. Tein are one of the best so i suppouse they might last more than 18,500miles. As i say "what you pay you get".

Only 18500 milesConfusedhock: The Konis on my old car have 3 year UNLIMITED mileage warrenty, as most of their products do. Some even have lifetime and unlimited warrenty. Fit and forget products:thumbup1:

"Life's goal is not to arrive safely at the grave in a well preserved body. But, rather to skid in sideways........
totally worn out and broken, shouting 'Holy ****, WHAT A RIDE!'"

Hmm....I think that with them being more expensive and better designed then stock shocks, they should last longer.
Going to keep saving, found some Tein Flex coilovers with option of EDFC, for just shy of 800quid. So need to get saving! But if anyone decides they are selling any before hand, let me know! Cheers all
