Yeah man everything goes up in price right now. I remember the TEIN springs used to be like $170! That was like 2 years ago though.

Default Price Increase May 1

Yes, Prices for TEINs are supposedly going up May 1. I'm in the market for TEIN Confort Sports for my 06 GS300, and I've been contacting many dealers, and they all say that May 1, TEIN will increase their currently MSRP from 1480 to 1700.

Not just 1 dealer i talked to said that it would increase, but 4 different dealers for TEIN.

What really sucks about this situation is TEIN is currently out of stock for comfort sports until Mid May, and prices are going up in the beggining of May, so you cant get a set for the old price since they aint got any left.

i actually bought the coilovers on eBay thru "upscaleautomotive" and per the eBay add....there is 9 available. The shipping info says they're coming from South Carolina i think. it says about 1 week. I was thinking about the legality part of the sale thru eBay and was wondering if they could screw me in any way??? the add says $1406.00 with free shipping. is it possible for them to re-neg on the deal???

FYI..... i already paid for the coilovers thru paypal
