Default Tein S Techs from Ebay! Fakes

Tein: FYI many Tein S Techs are fakes coming from Ebay, and they will not work correctly on your car since they are crap knock offs.
I got mine installed and they sound like crap, now they are coming back off, I will eat the $150 in springs, purchase another pair, and have them installed.
So look at your springs, if they have Tein stickers, blochy model numbers, etc, they are fake. You can also tell by the color of the box where it says Stylish by how yellow it is. The sticker on the box.
Heres the source to tell.

just go to like www.clubcivic.com or www.jcwhitney.com, or maybe another forum sponsor. Those are trusted websites that wouldnt sell fake crap (and my S-Techs from ClubCivic were like $160 or $170)
