Default Cheapest place to buy coilovers besides ebay?

I'm looking for tein ss coilovers online. The cheapest place i found them for was 910 on ebay. Anyone know where i can get them cheaper? I have a few friends that want to buy also (3 other sets) so maybe they are willing to lower the price a bit? Or at least throw in a free edfc?

I dunno, maybe I'm missing something here but each and everytime I've called TM for something either they didn't have it or their price was beaten easily by someone else. I've tried to take my business there because of the praise everyone reaps on Todd and his staff, and I'm sure it's well deserved. I'm just not a fan of some of their prices that's all...a guy on the phone there told me they wanted over $1000 for the Tein Basics

call about TEIN HA's. I think he's got great prices on those. Surely less than $1000

And this "one guy" answers the phones, works on the cars, orders the parts, cleans the restroom, takes out the trash, and acts as a security guard too right?

I doubt it was Todd I spoke to on the phone that day Thang, stop being so damn nit-picky. Was that the only thing you could find in my post to address? The fact that I said "and his staff?" lol. Anyway...

VS, I don't want the HA's...I want either the CS or the Basics, and as of now I'm leaning more towards the Basics. From what I've read the HA's have rusting issues that I don't want to deal with.

I have HA's the rusting issues they talk about is oxidation on the part right below the adjusting **** in the engine bay. It's not "real rust" because i can just wipe it off. Doesn't affect the longevity of the unit.

thanks for the tip. What about the ride comfort? I'm not trying to make the handling super stiff...
