Are they damper adjustable? If not then the track might not be the best option. Also, search, been covered.

i have them on my car and havent had any problems with them but my car is a street car and hasnt seen any track time. i will tell you that if you get them and put them on your car people will tell you to lower it more in the front even if you have them adjusted to drop the car as low as they go. with my front lip on my car i have less than 3 inches of ground clearance and people still tell me to lower it more, im thinking of taking my wheels off and setting the whole car on the ground to see if this makes the mob happy...lol.

reviews on new Tein Type HA won't apply to you, mainly because you're looking for used coil overs. What's the condition? miles? leaks?

Honestly, I'd be careful when buying used dampers if you don't know what to look for.

I have been running the HR's for a more than a few years now. They don't suck, I just know how to drive. I also know better than to slam a car for purely aesthetic reasons.

I will probably be getting them revalved soon to run a softer spring though. But that is just my personal preferance. I do suggest however that you do not thread them all the way down. About 3" of lowering is about the max to maintain consistent and long life, especially on the fronts.
