tein flex used or new?

im considering getting tein type flex coilovers used, but i dont know if thats a good idea. i was thinking that it could be rebuildable so it would be no problem but im still not sure. im also considering megan racing street type coilovers but right now i just need some help on what i should do so if anyone has an answer im all ears. thanks.

they are rebuildable ONLY from tein. you'd have to send them off and to do that you'd need the receipt. only get them if you're sure of the miles on them and that they are in good shape.

i'm getting the Megan track for my 92 hatch.

i hear a lot of bad things about megan coils...well i have no personal experience but you do what you pay for...i would rather get used coilovers from a reputable manufacturer than get new megans..personally

wouldnt the cost of used tein flex + rebuild = cost of new tein flex? or just about?

ive decided to get the tein type flex becuase it can be adapted with the edfc and because i trust them more, but does anyone know where i can get them for the cheapest? i usually get my aftermarket parts at super autobacs but sometimes they can be very overpriced.
