Thank you!wurlycorner wrote:But their listing doesn't say it's for 97-01 Type S (SH).NafemanNathan wrote:I just looked at their website bud. Unfortunately they do list a part number and it's 16.18113
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.
I have emailed them, I tried calling but no answer. Will try again Monday if I don't get an email back!

Realistically how much do you guys think I could put this up for sale for?

Dig in, don't be beaten by it, get the job done where others have failed and reap the rewards.


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!

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


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!
