Somebody on the Miataturbo.net forum is selling tein super streets come with chikara(nb) top hats for $800. Are these any good?

tein ss, cops, ignitor, ecu, injectors, wastegate acuator - Miata Turbo Forum - Home of the turbo Mazda Miata.

Since it comes with a chikara(nb) top hats can they be install in a 97?

Here is some more info on them.

Better than basics, not as good as flex, good on the street. Retail for about a grand.

They look a little too preloved for him to think they are still worth 800, brand new for around 900. pass.

I bought and installed a set of used Tein SS on my car about a year ago. Got them for a little bit less than what is being asked for the ones you want. Mine also came with fairly new upper mounts. Make sure you take into consideration the price of the upper mounts too before you go through with buying the set.

PM me if you want

New on Ebay they are $900 delivered, i paid $80 for a set of very fresh NB top hats at Mazmart about a month ago, commonly used NB tophats go for half that from private parties. They are decent. I'd offer maybe $650-700 dellivered, but no more, and that's with the tophats. For street use, the KYB AGX/ Ground controls can be had for about $800 new, and around half that used. throw in the FM rear mounts for NAs and you have a near ideal setup for 80/20 street track use. Just my .02.

I went from SS to Flex. The SS were more comfortable and easier to set up. The Flex are flatter and feel more direct but are also harsher (spherical bearings vs oem rubber bushings). The Flex are also much harder to set up. I'd rock the SS again in a street car.

That ^

They have 'street' in the name for a reason.
