Any product that his been on the market longer then many others and sold in high numbers stands a higher chance of showing up used in the marketplace and remember this is a aging car where more and more owners are getting out of them and going with something different.

Nothing has been posted in this section of the board to suggest that owner issues are the cause of what your seeing. Like any suspenison choice some products will show up for resale because someone didn't make the right choice to suit their needs. You'll want to make sure which coilover your looking at from Tein, is right for your needs.

As an example of the above, you are seeing a lot of TEIN Flex coilovers being sold. People bought those because they were "tight shiznit, yo" and they pictured themselves as the next Speedracer (of course, half of those people have never even taken their Z/G to a road racing course), but when the reality of driving on a stiff coilover every day hit them, they realized that maybe that wasn't the best choice...
