At that price I’d start looking at Teins, since Fulcrum have started pushing their product the local price has fallen and there’s much more after sales service and support.
If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.

Saw them too, they look ok huh?

What about Bilstein coilovers for MX-5's? Are they any good?

Hard to find second hand Teins though :(

I agree with Okibi to an extent ... those look like Taiwanese/Chinese made coilovers with a name that is similiar to Whiteline's top shelf Group 4.

The last I checked the Teins Super Street were $1900 inc gst and are fully rebuildable at Fulcrum.

Most of the M'sport guys here in Perth run Eibach or King springs with Koni yellow adjustable shock absorbers. They are more forgiving on the road.

My 2 cents.

if you ever decide to get springs/shocks, have a look at Espelir springs.
They came on my 5 when i bought it with KYB shocks.
The springs arent well known in aus but are pretty big in Japan, they also make springs for some of the JGTC cars and i think have there own car.

Unsure of prices, but i do think there on the steep side for springs but wont be dissapointed.

Is the PSS9 the only model that Bilstein make for the MX5? or is there a few others models?
