i got Tein HEs.... i think they would be fine if they were 10/8 rather that 8/6, but my car is mostly tuned for higher speed stuff. For street they are fine.

oh yah... Tein USA customer service SUCKS... well atleast through emails they do. I emailed them asking about a part I needed asap for a race I had in a week, which I made clear. They emailed me back 2 weeks later and said they didnt have the part. Then when I emailed them back asking a few other questions... I heared nothing from them.

Tein USA sucks (customer service wise... to me atleast)...

buy HKS or somthing...

Sounds like a lot of you use or have used Tein, JIC, cusco etc in your cars. Why not help us all out by posting a review of them in the reviews section?

Most companies suck when it comes to e-mail. If I need fast results I use the phone, simple as that. I hate using the phone, haha...

ive used
Tein HE (goign in for repairs/revalving)
i currently have on my car borrowing JIC FLT-A2
i have ridden in Apex N1, Zeal B6 (s14 and s13), HKS, Cusco, talk with people who own kei office, sportlines, agx, prokits, and other weird brands

reviews? WHY use the search mode. its all there.


yeah TEIN USA sucks for email. i jsut call them..mobile phone is free nationwide. they are super helpful and nice over the phone. email either never get a reply or it doesnt answer all my listed out questions. :(

Johny 5 - I've seen those search results all ready, but they didnt help me that much.

driftheaven - im not in socal, im at Lawrenceburg, IN (near OH border), but i'm thinking about goin out to socal to take a vacation next year and get some stuff for my car(haha, i dont have to worry about e-check or CARB. God I love IN). So I'll keep you in mind when I decide to come out.

just go to the links section and browse through all the shops....CUSCO is a pretty big name brand that almost every store can get. There's only two distributors for CUSCO in NA which are GREDDY and BOZZ Performance, which both are located in California....depending on whether any shop has the CUSCO stuff in stock, it usually takes 1-2 months to get from CUSCO Japan....

I have CUSCO Comp Zero2 on my S14 and love them...easy to use, ****ing awesome quality, great reputation, etc...

reasonalbe is dependign on ones wallet
what's 'reasonable' for you?
which model do you want too?
cusco is very high end as well

there's another one midwest.chicago that sells/distributes cusco. check the cusco japan site for info of US retailers (authorized)

ok, i'll tell you this...most of the times every shop, internet, catalogue, whatever will list every product at List/Retail Price......so basically every place you find that has CUSCO will list them all at the same price. It's just up to you to let them sell it to you at List/Retail....
