Default Anybody know what a gently used low mileage Tein Flex for the GS is worth?

I have used my Tein Flex coilover suspension on my GS for about 1 year. Total of two summers (2004 and 2005). I don't drive the car in the winter and have driven about 12 to 15K miles on them. I haven't tracked the car and they are gently used.

Does anyone know what the suspension is worth? I bought them brand new last year from Carson Toyota for about $1350.00.

I am getting too old and finding it too hard and would like to swap them out for the Tein CS. Not sure if I can find a good used Tein CS though for about what mine may be worth........

The Flex is a little harder and has the "handling" edge compared to the CS.

The Tein CS is very close in comfort levels to the stock suspension.


I do have the TRD Race sways, TRD front LCB and Toms Rear LCB, Cusco rear STB, which obviously contributes to some of the stiffness of the Flex.

With that mileage, and if you want it to move, this would be a fair price. So, another Flex diehard is starting to find it too stiff. Been there bro.
