Title: Tein MonoSport Coilovers 40% off
Post by: cptspaulding on March 27, 2017, 19:54
I saw one of our affiliates has taken their offer for these down. Spotted elsewhere today, these coilovers (https://mr2-ben.co.uk/products/1114) are still available (at the time of posting) at the same price from mr2ben.

Take note, jvanzyl. You may yet be £1000.80 lighter before sundown   s:lol: :lol: s:lol:    s:lol: :lol: s:lol:    s:lol: :lol: s:lol:

(edit. remember, a bargain is only a bargain if you need it, or if it's for your car   s:bounce: :bounce: s:bounce:    s:bounce: :bounce: s:bounce:  )

Thanks guys- I've utilised their online ordering system and fully expect an email tomorrow saying they can't fulfill...

Yeah... I'm not too sure she'd buy £50. Even with my mostest honest expression!

My arguement is that they will at least be worth something significant in the future should i have to part the car and return to stock.  :-) :-) :-)

John, I feel for you. After finally making your decision on which way to go on the suspension it must be awful to suddenly find you cant actually buy them.

Doesnt sound promising for them being available in the future if the companies response to "high demand" is to stop selling them. You would have thought they would take the orders and make up a batch unless they were just getting rid of their last stock.

Thanks Simon, Mike, Cpt Spaulding. [strike:15hfs4z7]Patrick[/strike:15hfs4z7] for the help and kind words...   s:lol: :lol: s:lol:  

I'll give MR2-Ben a call this morning to see if they are able to honour the order or not - but yeah I agonized over this for ages and finally took the plunge and it does not appear to have panned out the way I'd hoped! I can say that Paul @TCB called me immediately when he found out that TEIN had no stock and was most apologetic about it...

I'll let you guys know what happens - maybe I'll find the cheapest set I can, which will more than likely be better than what I'm on now anyway and put the rest towards the next thing that goes!

Good news at last John for your car not for the bank account or mood of the wife when she finds out!

The reason i waited till Monday was because i wanted to check it over with her first!  s:-D :-D s:-D  concious clear shopping my friend!

But in all honesty- you're going to spend min £770 doing the cheapest of refreshes for like yellow speed.

So it's another £230 for something that as far i know is possibly the best solution? Added to which it it all goes down the pan, the current second hand value far exceeds what I'm paying for them new!
