Default Tein (Suspension Company) Need Our Help

Tein the suspension, needs a crossfire to develop some new lowering springs.
Here's the link: http://www.tein.com/test_vehicle/index.html

The benefits are great... (You get free stuff )...

I wish I could let them use mine but I don't have another car ...

Something seems a little fishy to me. They need a 300C, Mustang, Camry, these are about the hottest selling cars in the past 24 months. If you offer products and have not made them already for these cars what are you making them for? Studebaker? Sounds like they are trying to appeal to most all cars and saying they need your car just to get you in.

They are a Japanese company and have concentrated on the Japanese market.

If that's the case why is a Camry on the list? That has to be about the best selling car, I would think that would be one of the first they would of made. I could be wrong I'm just cautious.

Tein is a very good suspension company, they know what they're doing. The cars on the list are probably there because they've had a demand for parts but don't make the application yet. They focus on the cars that are most popularly modded, etc.

i didn't see what camry they wanted, but the new model has only been out for a year or so, and demand on tein suspensions for camry's is probably extremely low. not many people track their camry's.

I would have given them my car to use since they are close to me, but their website states they want one that has un-modified suspension (stock).

I'd venture to guess that 70% of the cars in the US with aftermarket suspensions are never tracked either.

It sounds like they don't even guarantee that you'll get anything for your trouble. That would suck to give them your car for 2-3 days a time for three times and not get anything for your trouble.

From the website: "TEIN U.S.A., Inc does not guarantee that any proto-type and/or mass-production products will be provided to lender."

Yeah, why would they give you their prototype parts, they haven't been fully tested and are a liability from a lawyers point of view. You'll just be wasting your time with this.

Then they're gonna want to go out and test your cars new suspension. I'm sure they'll scrub the hell out of your tires in the process.
