They are only $1377 on tirerack, that's not even close to 45-50% off.

The thing they bagged on is a legitimate selling point. Tein's damper's aren't all that great design-wise, but their QC and customer service are good. They also do a good job of matching damper rates to spring rates.

Kevin you need to drive one of our cars I dont care the haters are saying with rear sway my car friggin rocks I will let drive it during autox season you cant say antthing until you drive either my or mikes car same set up as far as suspension goes But I also think that topmounts pink Sti and f/r end links and last but not least the rear sway is the best dollar for dollar way to go

For what you pay, Teins are great, don't get me wrong. Another thing in the Tein's favor is the adjustability you get- I didn't see how much (if any) adjustment the dampers on the H&Rs have. But on the flip side, they're a great deal for about $1000. Personally, I'll either be going with Cusco Zero-2Rs or some badass custom double adjustable setup from Nate, depending on how much less I can get the custom stuff done for. My point about the Tein dampers was that that is where they reduce cost. H&R's shortcoming is adjustability, and their less than stellar ability to match suspension to non-Honda/VW cars. Something's gotta give if you want good coilovers under $2500, and that's where Tein does it.

Actually the margin on meth is even better... but last time I checked, even Club Fed doesn't have an autocross league.

What, by dealing meth or going to prison? Both make a vow of chastity look pretty inviting.
