WTB: TC Kline Coilovers

Hey guys, as title states I'm looking to pick up a set of TC kline Coilovers in great condition. Spring Rates F/R: 300#+/ 550+

I would consider JRZ, AST, or maybe Ohlins, but prefer Klines

Hit me up with what you got, cash in hand

Thanks

Awfully light spring rate. This for DD?

Good luck, probably won't find much luck. Keep in mind warranty on TC Units don't transfer over with the buyer. Also, high performance units like these will require rebuilds after certain amount of time. Don't be that guy that buys units and has to send them off to get rebuilt after they don't function as advertised.

Feel free to ask my any questions though. I run TC DAs an highly support them

Thanks for the input and the advice, i may follow up with some questions.

Yeah the lighter spring rates specifically capture the OHLINS crowd i think they are like 340/400 which is why it wont be my first choice but obviously would be a significant improvement over stock msport suspension.

I ideally am looking for 400/600 and yes this is my daily driver it sees dual duty, but only HPDEs up to this point, no autoX or anything serious. Im doing probably 10-15 days at the track in a year.

I really would love to pull the trigger on the TCK DA, but man $2900 is a swift kick in the pants for me. LOL

That's why im hoping to find someone who is going back to stock or changed their set up and are willing to give a good deal to a forum member

Otherwise do they ever go on sale? My other option was to go with TCK SA but thats still cutting a little deep for my budget at the moment.

#400/600 might be a bit off. I run #400/700 and the motion ratios are such that I probably have a bit more front spring than necessary. I'd stick to #350 if you were going to do #600 rear.

I'm always at the point of buy once, cry once. It is a steep investment but it is very worth it. IMO if you're set on DAs don't settle for SAs, the compression adjustment is well worth the money.

Feel free to shoot me any questions. I'll try my best to answer

Out of my time here I've only saw one TCK DA kit on here that had heavy miles on it
