Tein S-Techs

OK, the time has come for me to buy. After looking on Teins website I notice that e-bay has some imposter springs, so I'd like to avoid e-bay. I live in NY, does anyone know where I can purchase these as well as an SPC rear camber kit for a decent price?

I know you said you want to avoid eBay, but there's still some honest sellers left. Try this one, I've gotten several stuff from them. They have hundreds of legit parts at decent market prices, are very honest and have great customer service.

Yeah, the goal is to know how to spot the imposter. You can do safe transactions on eBay but you just have to have the radar up and "if it's too good to be true, it usually is."

I have an idea on price so if I see a set of Teins for like 125 I'm not buying but you can't even go by pics. I got burned once on e-bay thank GOD only for 30 bucks but you can still get burned but if you're selling imposters just drop the price 20 bucks and you have sales. I don't want to take that chance with mechanical parts of inferior quality.

Like the post above, if someone on here has dealt with a particular person or shop on e-bay I might do it based on their satisfaction.
Thanks!

Bought my s-techs for $139 shipped from jdm-in-stock. I'm 100% positive that they are real.

S.techs are the way to go, I have them on my car. I am looking at switching to the megan racing coilover damper kit though.
