Default Tein Suspension Help

How's everyone? I have a 98 GS300 with Tein Flex suspension. I have done a few searches on the net and this forum. I would like a more comfortable ride which led me to the Tein CS. I have a few questions.

1. Where is the best place to purchase the Tein CS for the lowest price?
2. Is it as easy as pulling out the Tein Flex and replacing it with the Tein CS?
3. There is a version 1 and version 2 from what I read. Besides version 2 being cheaper, is there any other difference?

I'm open to trades if someone has a set of CS's. Thanks.

PM Sent. I would be willing to take the Teins off your hands what price?
Carson is usually the best place to purchase these from and the cheapest i've seen.
As per replacing I'm not positive but I don't see why there would be much of a difference as installing the Flex.

1. The best place to puchase is Carson's, can't beat the price and service ask for Luis and tell him Joe sent you....

2. Replacement will be the same, look to be about a 3-4hr. job if you're gonna do it yourself.....

3. V2 is cased in black as where the V1 was cased in gold and there are some other upgrades with the V2 maybe someone can chime in and answer that one? Hope that helps and btw welcome to the club....

the new cs are steel bodied instead of aluminum, but they supposedly have improved valving.
