TEIN EnduraPro Shocks/Struts? Thoughts?

[bcrdukes]

I have these shocks but not for my 986, but for a Toyota.

For the price, they are not bad, compared to say, a set of Koni FSDs I had for my Boxster and some Koni Yellows I had for my old E36 M3. I've had the TEINs for well over three years now and over 30,000KM (not miles) moving onto its fifth year of mixed city and highway driving, plus several road trips to the Midwest. My daily driver sees all kinds of Canadian weather, including snow. I think that's a testament of reliability, no?

Like any aftermarket adjustable shock, they take a while to figure out how you like them to be tuned/adjusted to YOUR liking and driving style. They pair best with factory springs. I can't recommend using an aftermarket spring as I tried them with a set of H&R springs and it was awful. If you decide to get them, start with 5 clicks of adjustment from full soft and go from there.

For the money, these are good value. And yes, they are made in Japan. I'm not sure why all the hate for stuff that's "Made in China."
