Thanks for the warining. My buddy just about bought some for his integra because they were less expensive than Tiens from the dealer. Good thing you posted this, he was going to buy them because they looked real.

In addition to Teins looking for an RD to make some coilovers off, they have a program where you can send your stock coilovers to them and they will make the exact ones you need.

Saw it in super street, unfortunatley

They dont want to make coilovers. They want to make springs, and need a stock tib, with stock wheels. We dont have many of those out here, so until we do, they're just waiting. If I had a stock set of wheels I'd roll for sure. I kinda wanna wait to go until I have at least one car for R&D for them, and one car to try to entice them into making us nice coilovers, which is a one in a million shot.

Has Tein made a spring yet?
