Questions on Tein HR coilovers

[shoey_R33]

Hi all, I'm looking at picking up some Tein HR coilovers from overseas for my R33 GTS25t. The seller said it fits ECR33, which I believe is the GTS25t. But on the Tein website product list for R33, there are only HA and RS items for GTR... whats the go with GTS??

Secondly because I need to bring them over here (actually, my gf will), how heavy are the entire set of coilovers?

Finally what are the risks of buying 2nd hand suspension? oil leaks and what else? Is it possible to see if the springs are worn or have lost stiffness?

Yes, ECR33 is the GTS-t.

Yes, Tein make coilovers for ECR33 - I have some in my car.

HR are the Height & Damper adjustable (I think) <-- someone correct me if I am wrong here.

They are pretty heavy - I'd guess about 4 kgs a side - so 20 kgs all up.

It's doubtful that the springs are worn - they are pretty good quality springs. You can get new springs for them if you need - either from Tein or King Springs can make to your specification.

More likely is oil leaks, squeakyness, etc. Getting them rebuilt is pretty expensive - 500-750 I understand.

Hope that helps,
