Well, in order to answer your question, someone would have to own the original CS and then install the new one. I don't know how many people buying are replacing CS old for CS new.

Most are likely either first time TEIN owners or replacing another model such as FLEX or HA or replacing a spring / shock set up.

Given that Luis just posted a picture of 7 sets of coilovers in their stock, odds are that very few people (if any) have even installed these yet, let alone the odds that they were previous CS owners is probably low. I'll bet not too many existing CS owners are willing to take the risk of spending this much money for possibly little or no gain.

I'm sure EVERYONE is waiting to see a review on these new CS models.

Wonder who will be the first ?

I have the TEIN RA that were modified by RMM with a completely different set of springs than TEIN originally produced.

I wouldn't be "The ONE" to compare old CS with new.

It would have to be a current CS owner to do the comparison like Neo, who as you know IS "The ONE".

And if you read my review on the GS suspension section, you'll see that the new model is much improved over the original. And we know the original is good, but TEIN topped themselves.

rominI
is it really $175/strut??? when i called i thought it was insanely cheap at $180ish for all 4

RMMGS4
if the above is the case then i may just have to wait for a set of the New CS unless i can find a place with used FLT-A2's for <1000 and find out if i can even rebuild them.
