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.
Happy New Year to you all!
We’re excited for what’s to come this year. TEIN Japan has a fresh slate starting their operations in a brand new factory (still in Yokohama).
It doesn’t end there, though. Of course we always want to add something new to the TEIN line, so we’re looking forward to the release of the TEIN Mono Sports coilovers (two types: Sport & Sedan) and another EDFC Active addition- EDFC Active Pro! We’ll add more details on these products as they become available. So far, one staff member has already posted about the Mono Sport dampers.
There are other developments within the TEIN group that are super big, and super confidential for now.
In any case, be assured that TEIN is continuing to grow to be a leader in performance suspension!
Happy Holidays to you all!

It has been brought to our attention that there are multiple counterfeit Defi gauges circulating the market. Please be extra careful if you come across an unbelievable price for a new set of Defi gauges.
Counterfeit items are not manufactured to FCC standards. They can burn out your electrical system along with other potential problems.
We cannot stress enough to only purchase from TEIN authorized dealers. Visit the link below to locate the nearest dealer to you.
There may seem to be subtle differences between a counterfeit and authentic Defi gauge, components, and its packaging. They’re subtle enough to go unnoticed. Again, they may look original. But, under a keen eye, you can notice the differences. Below are some pictures courtesy of Defi. Please take a close look the these pictures. Also below is a link to Defi’s website detailing more counterfeit vs original photos.

What’s up, all?!! Just a friendly reminder that the winter season is the ideal season to submit your dampers to us for an overhaul. To those who don’t know what an overhaul means, basically we freshen up the dampers to a like new condition.
The standard turnaround time is between three to five weeks. The repair time frame depends on the condition of the dampers. Dampers with less damage are typically overhauled under two weeks. However, repairs to severely damaged dampers can be prolonged up to five weeks. Unfortunately, we cannot confirm a repair time frame, nor exact overhaul total until the dampers are inspected.
Before you submit your dampers to us, make sure fill out our overhaul agreement form. Please visit the link provided below to obtain this form.
Feel free to contact us should you have any other questions.

Attention Defi Fans!! Defi has released two lines of gauges for those looking for something a little outside of the box.
The first of the two is the Defi Advance C2 gauge series. Now I know that most of you are going to say “Why in Pink?,” but give them a chance as they aren’t bad looking! They actually look quite nice! These gauges require the use of the Advance Control Unit similar to the Advance BF and Advance CR series and, as detailed, come in a Pink color or a Blue color for the trim. The needle and bezel are a retro silver color, which accents the gauges really well and work with the numbers which light up a bright white. These gauges are only offered in Boost, Manifold Pressure, Oil Pressure, Fuel Pressure, Oil Temperature, Water Temperature, Exhaust Temperature, and Tachometer in 9000 and 11000 RPM.
The second gauge is more of a nostalgic throwback with the Defi RS gauges. I’ll be honest with everyone, these gauges are extremely good looking, as some of you may already know, I am partial to old school cars. A lot of older Japanese vehicles have Nippon Seiki’s “NS” logo on the OE cluster to which these gauges also had it placed on the face. The colors offered are the same as many of the old school cars did, in that classic green color and the classic white that is interchangable (one gauge = 2 different color options). These gauges also require the use of the Advance Control Unit and would be offered in Boost, Manifold Pressure, Oil Pressure, Fuel Pressure, Oil Temperature, Water Temperature, and Exhaust Temperature. An 80mm Tachometer is currently in development, but also expected to be released in the near future.
Both gauges are currently on a Special Order type basis and can be purchased through any TEIN Authorized Dealer. However, these gauges may not be around for too long, as Defi decided to have limited production manufacturing of both gauges. The C2 gauge manufacturing would be ending in June of 2014 and the manufacturing of the RS gauges would be ending in February 2015. If any of these gauges do catch your eye, I recommend taking advantage of these gauges while supplies last.
I would like to say farewell to all of the current Tein staff that are leaving and the ones who have left the company. Some have moved on to serve and protect the public. Others to grow there family business. While others are moving back to Japan. Never the less it was great experience working with you all. I wish you all best of luck in the near future.
Now hello to all of the new hires. Welcome to Tein, I look forward to working with you all. There will be a lot of training involved (Special for the operations position). Feel free to ask any questions and lets get the job done!!.
