I was just informed by Carson-Toyota that I will be recieving one of the last Tein CS for the 430SC. Tein is discontinuing the Tein CS for our SC.

I heard that there will be a new series towards the end of the summer and that they will be cheaper, and possibly not as good. They still should be great though!

I have had a set on order from Todd at TM engineering since mid January. Todd told me they are not discontinued, but they will be replaced later this year with the new model mentioned above. Richard also has a set on order from Todd. I think he even ordered before me.

Thanks.

I feel kind of pathetic to ask you that question.
Anyway, at least I and Mario have a good eta now.

well for one, if they use steel instead of the current aluminum setup, then you most likely get added weight

I received an email from Todd at TM engineering. He said they are scheduled to arrive this week and as soon as they clear customs they will be on their way.

Wow it is about time. Almost as long as it took for my wheels. Thank god it was winter I would have gone crazy waiting if it was summer
