Anyone hear of these? I wonder how these would compare to Silk Road RM/A8coilovers. Rebuildability is key and Tein is local. IIRC Silk Roads have to be shipped to Japan to be rebuilt. It's about time Tein made an inverted shock design. Here are some pics:

They come out in May 2006.

Well, I started this thread a tad more than a year ago and guess what? I called tein today and they are FINALLY out for the s13. Anyway, I hear that these coilovers are half way decent and I like the idea of local (So Cal) support since they're in Downey. I was wondering if anyone here has bought a set yet. Please post your first impressions, experiences, etc. Thanks in advance!
