I saw this a while back, there's fake Tein S-Tech springs being sold on ebay, confirming the suspicion i had. Tein's website has details that mention telltale signs of the fake packaging and others like the most obvious being a peel off Tein logo on the spring. I wonder if anyone on here was scammed?
It doesn't have any mention of fake H-Tech though, which is great cuz i'm gonna buy them soon !

Here's the link from Tein's website:

Welcome to 2007...

I thought this was common knowledge by now.

 

^^^lol, i saw this in super street a few years back. they pretty much explained the difference between the fake and real parts that are common on ebay...

 

lol. I just think it is funny that all these companies try soo hardcore to make fake brands. It is all scummy crappy ****. And I hope I JUST HOPE they get sued till their is no 2morrow. If you got a way of mfg a product. MAKE your own. Don't try to copy others especially big companies. You can notice in how drastically the price changes as well. This seems to happen everywhere not just Ebay. I do wonder tho. Why these fake companies dont try harder at making them look more realistic. lol. I mean. Its just silly. DO they do that so they dont get slapped with a copy right infringe patents and hope the unsuspecting buyer won't notice it?

 

Old news. 1 more reason not to buy S-Techs.

 

s techs are too low anyway. H techs is the way to go. Our cars look silly on a S tech drop IMHO

 

which reminds mee.... You think this site is legit? They are no stickers?

The ones at high performance look alright though their $25.00 fedex shippping is a ripoff and i got excited at the $170.00 price the other site doesnt have enough pictures

 

yea but $170? lol still not bad. So $195 total...

 

OH man, I wish i have read this news before I bought mine @ 6 month ago.

luckily mine was an authentic one even i bought it from ebay, the box seems to be pretty same with the one listed on tein website & also my s tech doesn't have a "tein sticker" badge on the spring

 

S-techs don't look too low, they are too low for a spring though considering A32 lack of suspension travel.

 

Why do our cars look silly with a real low drop?
I for one think they look killer.
With stock wheels, I would agree that it doesnt looks as great as one tucking with aftermarket wheels

 

The Max's look sick with a nice drop along with some aftermarket rims.

 

Ksport. Dont even buy the authentic stechs.

 

Whats that mean? I was under the impression K-sport was a good brand for coilovers and springs.

 

Tein drop looks great, kthx

 

I think he was trying to say that people should buy K-Sport springs > S-Techs.

 

I think the best handling on springs and struts your gonna get is K-Sport springs and AGX struts. What yall think?
