Fastfatdude Neutral Newbie August 13, 2006 Share August 13, 2006 tein aint great... i heard that they leak easily... maybe u can try other brands? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbonetics 2nd Gear August 13, 2006 Share August 13, 2006 2 years i dun think its condition is very good... which model is it??? anyway,u can service it at ST powered... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbonetics 2nd Gear August 13, 2006 Share August 13, 2006 are u sure??? i believe that's just hear-say... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elfenstar 3rd Gear August 13, 2006 Share August 13, 2006 dun know which workshops in sg can do it, but all teins are rebuildable so its cheaper to get them rebuilt than buying new coilovers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gohtg Neutral Newbie August 13, 2006 Share August 13, 2006 the lifespan of coilover is between 3-5years depending on user...but to buy a 2nd hand 2year old coilover might not be a gd investment IMHO........ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahliew Neutral Newbie August 13, 2006 Share August 13, 2006 if a particular set of coilovers are not servicable, meaning you have to replace the whole set? 1k+ not a small sum Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahliew Neutral Newbie August 13, 2006 Share August 13, 2006 what parts of the coilovers get rebuilt? the springs will sag? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elfenstar 3rd Gear August 14, 2006 Share August 14, 2006 everything but the shell can be changed on the teins. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wankie Clutched August 14, 2006 Share August 14, 2006 add in the cost of labour & parts to rebuild the coilover, might as well get new ones Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elfenstar 3rd Gear August 14, 2006 Share August 14, 2006 not really unless you plan on getting new springs as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fastfatdude Neutral Newbie August 14, 2006 Share August 14, 2006 hearsay... since i used the HA before and it did fine... however, one thing that i do know is that the teins are made in taiwan.. therefore i think the QC might not be that great are u sure??? i believe that's just hear-say...

Fastfatdude Neutral Newbie August 14, 2006 Share August 14, 2006 to be honest, i never heard of anyone reconditioning them... perhaps for the expensive ones like aragosta.... but most certainly not for tein.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbonetics 2nd Gear August 15, 2006 Share August 15, 2006 some ppl says it is made in taiwan and some said its made in japan... iam blur... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wankie Clutched August 15, 2006 Share August 15, 2006 hmmm, i guess so but pbly have to see how much the 2nd hand ones cost..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wankie Clutched August 15, 2006 Share August 15, 2006 hv not used tein before but heard -ve feedback about some models in terms of noise etc. think most good shocks are rebuildable (eg : bilstein, ohlins etc), think just need to find a mech that can do it....

Eugene1 Neutral Newbie August 15, 2006 Share August 15, 2006 Hi, Tein coilovers can be rebuilt.I'm using rebuilt Tein on my car for about 5 months now.So far so good.I've asked around and it doesn't cost much to recondition them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vicky Neutral Newbie August 15, 2006 Author Share August 15, 2006 thanks for all the above advised. I'm not going to the the used tein liao. Maybe go for tein S tech spring instead. Cheers.. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
