Default Good deal on Tein H-techs fyi

Just ordered some teins for $133 including shipping from custom cars central ($110+shipping) just an fyi for anyone looking to order. I also found the H&R 20mm wheels spacers for $129 including shipping but I'll have to find that site again.

Thanks so much for posting this. Awesome price. Just ordered a set for myself. Hopefully the place is honest and as-advertised.

Did you ever remember where it was you picked up your spacers?

custom cars central was awesome, had the springs at my house and put them on the car 2 days later. The springs are great, took less than 2 hrs to do all 4 corners.

check race tech performance for the spacers:

those are the same p/n that a few other users on this forum have used.

How are they holding up? Any squeaks? How's the effect on body roll?

Debating on installing them right away, or waiting til I get spacers and doing it all at once.

Looks like they'll give you 10 bucks back for reviewing the product after you buy it too!

Yeah, I noticed that. If I decide to go without spacers, then i'm going to do it soon. Otherwise, it'll be at least a month or so before I put them on.

Just got an email from Custom Cars Central. They canceled my order and raised the price by $40. They said they ran out of their discounted stock, and only had Tein H-Techs sourced from a more expensive supplier.

Buyer beware.

Aww, well that's BULL****.

And I was ABOUT to order some, too! How about raising the price AFTER the last guy buys the LAST pair of discount springs? Not cancelling and price-gouging.

Yup, I got my order canceled and they wouldn't give me a raincheck. boo.

I ordered a set from advancespeedshop.com, they had a set for 136 before a 10% off coupon.

http://www.advancespeedshop.com/tein...a-p-15418.html

After shipping and CA tax, about 150.

I'll let you guys know how it works out when they ship it, should be in 2-3 days.
