Gen5 Has anyone bought these Tein S.Tech springs on ebay?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Tein-...em130157930172

I was considering buying these, however I have heard about the fake "teins" on ebay. Does anyone have any input on these?

Well, the thing is; if you go by pics.. they still have the ability to send you counterfit. I think your best bet would be going through the seller's history/comments/ratings.. then check tein's website for counterfit springs when your springs arrive. With that said-

Honestly tho, i think that the aftermarket part demands for a camry isn't "profitable" enough for anyone to take the risk and manufacture counterfit parts for it.

Your best bet is to go through an authorized dealer... Even if the person has good feedback its probably from people who don't know the difference between the real and fake teins.

In case you're wondering how to tell the fake from the reals.

Again that would involve you buying the springs, inspecting them and then having to return them becuase they are fake.

Answer... Buy from an authorized dealer.

Yeah, I just got those

Finally got my suspension right (the Saga of the S-Tech Sag)

Learn from my mistakes! (I'm not sure what that means)
