Yep, I'm in complete agreement. Just thought Aaron would want to know why some of them don't fit again.

But their listing doesn't say it's for 97-01 Type S (SH).
It says it's for 97-01 full stop, so it's still their error.
You shouldn't have to look up on the manufacturers website to find that actually, it's not for all 5g's...
(I'm sure we're in agreement on that Nafe, so I'm not suggesting you think otherwise)

Basically, it looks like they have sent you what they stock and what you ordered, however their listing description is wrong.

Just looked on energysuspension and it makes it clear that set does not fit the "base" (non Type-S/SH) model.

TBH, it's also jobby that they say they 'could be black or red' - there are different es part numbers for red and black (black has 'G' suffix, red has 'R' suffix) so they really should be specifying.

As Nafe says, Tegiwa are not renowned for good customer service. Hopefully they will accept they have incorrectly listed the item, however and return it.




Full details on what bushes use and fit where, in this thread.
Thank you!

I have emailed them, I tried calling but no answer. Will try again Monday if I don't get an email back!

I do understand, it's one of those paradox type situations though - if you could know how great if will be to drive it when it's sorted, you would never sell, as you'd regret it way too much.
Dig in, don't be beaten by it, get the job done where others have failed and reap the rewards. 8-)

I did wonder why I wasn't getting any response

I brought an 03 plate Audi TT Quattro today.. Picking it up Monday. I am however considering keeping the Prelude and getting it sorted as and when I have got the money! ;)

Excellent! That's just the sort of boring comparison car you need to show how great the lude is, nice one! 8-) :lol: ;)

(I jest, enjoy the new motor and it'll take the pressure off getting the lude done. 8-) )

I do feel relieved, I dont want to sell the lude but like you said having another car takes the pressure off. Also it will only gain value while I wait to get it sorted!
