Sorry I've searched but I couldnt find any review, but I was wondering if anyone had expereince with these coilovers? I know they are discontinued to Tein Super Drift but still wanted to know the pros and cons. My
Setup is for drifting and weekend drive. Let me know.

I have the He's and love them. And yes i have driven on many different coil overs. Lots of people will talk shit about tein not being good, i agree that if you buy the basics they really arent that great, but when you spend the money for Tein's higher grade stuff it is really good, and they arent to stiff for the street.

Yeah i run pretty low. Im assuming with the Drift Spec same as the He's it will have lower mount adjustable so you can lower it and keep shock travel, and it you want to lower more then you can lower at the spring.

HE's are OK
The only reason (IMO) people always bag on Tein is because the price is usually more when compared to othe coilover manufactures with the same features.
If you can get them for a decent price go ahead and buy them

Can you explain why the HE's are ok? Im guessing cause there pricey for there price where you can get something similar and cheaper? Let me know just my thoughts!

So what your saying is that Tein makes good coilover but there price are higher then there competiters?

I paid 1000 for mine, not low but low enough to scrape the Nismo power bar.

personally, i'd never buy used coilovers, unless it's busted, then it'll be cheaper, so i can go rebuild them...

supposedly used for 4 months could mean, he used it for 4 months, or he used it for 36 months and cleaned it and tells you it's only used for 4 months or he may used it for 4 months but he tracks every weekend and abuses it, etc etc...
