Default TEIN Type Flex coilovers

I have for sale a set of TEIN Type Flex coilovers with swift springs fitted to them.

The coilovers were fitted to a car I imported from japan and came with the standard suspension in the boot and I won't get any more for the car with the coilovers fitted so they have been removed and are now for sale.

They look to be very new and don't seem to have been on the car for long at all.
I have not driven the car with them fitted as they were removed before the car was registered in the UK so I don't know what sort of ride quality these will give but I can only assume that the springs have been replaced to improve the ride quality.

I have emailed swift springs USA for more info on the springs.

Here is a pic for the suspension setup.

As soon as I get more info on the springs I'll post it up.

I'll be looking for £750.00 inc delivery to mainland UK.

If you need anymore info or pic's just let me know.

Thanks

I have Tein super street coilovers on my Type-R at the moment so if these don't sell I'll swap them over and put the super streets up for sale.

I'd be looking for £500.00 for the super streets as they are in the same condition as the type flex ones.

I think you will need rear top mounts and a set of camber bolts to get them to fit a bugeye.

I can have this confirmed if your interested.

I'm not sure if they would fit as I don't know what sort of setup is on your car as standard and I think coilovers on a non turbo would be over the top in my opinion especially £750.00 worth of coilovers unless your going to use it on the track.

If you going to turn the car into a show car then yes I would go for coilovers, these are from a classic impreza which has the same stud pattern as your car but I think your car will need rear top mounts and camber bolts the same as what you would need to fit these coilovers to a bugeye.

Sorry I can't do the type flex ones for £500.00 but I could do the super street ones off my type-r for £500.00 if you collected them or if not it would be + delivery.

The ride height adjustment will be the same on both just the Type flex are a better setup.
