Basic..... Tein Basic Damper is for the driver seeking high performance within a reasonable price.

Can't believe no-ones interested in this suspension The basic kit is 600 quid and its nearly a full on coilover I don't think there is any better value for money kits out there. The flex kit is more than a match for Leda

There's no closing date as long as everyone who has put their name down on the list actually has the items by the time we sell 10 kits

Price is just for the kit! Although they will fit for around £160 if needed and your local enough to travel there!
