TEIN EnduraPro Shocks/Struts? Thoughts? - 986 Forum - The Community for Porsche Boxster & Cayman Owners

I'm considering a set of Tein Endura Pros for my Box.
I'm just just a casual/spirited driver (not tracking the car).
I'm looking for some thoughts from those who may have them installed already.
Ride quality?
Build quality?
Thanks!

Where are they produced?
I would never put Chinese junk on my car, especially any Porsche.
Yugo? Sure.

They're made in Japan.
And I'm not going pretend my car is a $250k 911 Turbo S. It's 25 years old and might be worth about $10k. That's why I'm looking at options.

Got it! I can appreciate that. I just meant cheap in terms of longevity--and damping.
I've got some Konis I squirreled away when there was a sale. I intend to hold them until I need them and the new lowering springs. I'm not sure I want to lose the suspension travel as it rides and handles so well now.
How are these priced?

~$530 for a set of 4. That price is low enough to make me question their quality, thus the original question.
I see numerous performance shops sell them but feedback or reviews are limited.
🤷🏼

I don’t know about the EnduraPro specifically but Tein in general have a good rep over here in the U.K. especially with Japanese performance cars.
I had Tein mono sport on my track biased RX8 and they were excellent. Those could also be linked with edfc control unit to make them adjustable whilst on the move.

They are not in the same league as Ohlins but great value at the price point.

I didn’t know Tein had an application for the Boxster, now I know I will take a good look at them myself.
