Hey everyone,
Check out our latest TEIN key chain.

It is a black on silver aluminum key chain.
Part number TN016-012 MSRP $8.00
Look out for this new addition to our goods arriving Mid August! We’ll update our Online Shop once it arrives for purchase or purchase through any of our TEIN Authorized Dealers.
Why is it important to consider purchasing through a TEIN Authorized Dealer? This type of question is commonly asked by consumers looking to purchase product from non-authorized TEIN dealers. The reason we strongly suggest this is to avoid any issues with both product authenticity as well as any potential warranty claim.
Product which is claimed to be warrantied will have to be sent back through the seller in which the purchase had been made through. The reason for this is that the products selling origin must be traced back to the initial sale to the TEIN Authorized Dealer, helping us to confirm this purchase and purchase date. This is not always as easy to do, as many Online Retailers tend to push off the customer to the manufacturer for claims processing.
This demonstrates the overall service these types of sellers are willing take on when they “assist their customers”. It’s sad to see that many sellers claim to have “Customer Service” only to make a quick sale, or bring up their seller points.
As we had mentioned both via blog posts and on our website, counterfeit TEIN products are still out there, whether they’re lowering springs or coilovers mimicking our product lines. At times the counterfeit can be distinguished by an image the seller uses, but certain counterfeits which look extremely similar usually need to be sent in for inspection.
Purchasing through a TEIN Authorized Dealer assures you that the product is going to be a genuine TEIN item. Our authorized dealer will also be able to assist you with product installation and or technical support, and prompt assistance with claims as the records will be quick to access.

Can TEIN reproduce a spring or coilover kit that has been discontinued for a while now? This answer is YES!!!
Consumers still contact us in search of a product we had offered a few years back which ends up being discontinued
and no longer available. Before we could only point the consumer towards dealers which may possibly have some product still available or another manufacturer. However, the option to have this type of kit reproduced is now available.
Starting price to have a set of lowering springs reproduced is $560.00. For a coilover reproduction, a
general price increase of around 30% to the original MSRP price would apply and would be for any previously
manufactured coilover. Please take note that at times the newer model coilover design may be recommended in
place of the kit inquired, as it may be cost-friendly, and/or some internal components are a better design on the
newer design kits. In some cases some older components are no longer available, so we may need to incorporate newer components in place of them, and that may mean a slight redesign. This is not to say that the original kit can not be reproduced, it may just be a little more expensive especially if there any design changes necessary. Of course these reproduction kits are Special Order from Japan and would have a standard time frame of 2 to 3 months to arrive to the U.S.
This reproduction option will definetely come in handy for those older 94-96 Honda Odyssey, and 93-97 Lexus GS300, and 99-04 Mazda Protege drivers that can not get ahold discontinued TEIN products.
When discussing the original EDFC, I sometimes would run into some wishful individuals wishing that a system would have the capability of adjusting itself. When we released the EDFC Active, our electronic damping system which allows the front and rear dampers to be adjusted automatically based on the vehicle speed and G forces applied. A lot were impressed and in awe, but still we had individuals who complained that it was still not good enough. Now with the release of the EDFC Active Pro, no one can say a word.
We recently have decided upon the release of a new hoody and Snap-back cap as a replacement to our previous hoody and flame cap which were discontinued.
Many consumers had inquired about the release or re-release of the hoody which had us thinking whether to go ahead consider the re-release or bring out a new design. As for the flame cap, lets just say that it wasnt as popular as out FlexFit caps and kinda needed an upgrade. Both product renderings have not yet been finalized but an idea of what can be expected for both would be shown below.
The release is expected within the next two weeks and is definetely a long awaited for the hoody and unexpected release for the cap. Check our website for updates.
That is correct!
