Hi, I was talking about car mods with a friend the other day, and the conversation drifted on to how to pronounce the name of several of the manufacturers.

For instance:-

TEIN:-
Is in pronounced:-
TEEN
or
TINE (TYNE)

GReddy
G-Ready
or
greddy

Eibach
E Bach
E Back
Aye Bach
Aye Back

Personally I pronounce them
Teen
G-Ready
Aye Back.

What about anyone else, or does anyone know the 'official' way to pronounce them?

TEEN just sounds wrong :p

I cant remember but there was a post on ns.com about how to pronouce Greddy. It wasn't G-Ready, something weird. I just pronouce it G-Ready.

Eibach... err AyeBach seems right

i was talking to a japanese car importer the other month about suspension and i was talking about tein suspension and he told me i was pronouncing it wrong i he wouldnt answer me untill i pronounced it properly haha so i tried loads of variants and in the end i got, he sed it was pronounced tee en, with greddy i think the americans mainly call it g-reddy and majority call it greddy, but depends if you you speak to a young chav who watches a lot of fast and the furious then they would probably call it g-reddy too but thats how it seems around here anyway. i dont know about the eibach it chages slightly everytime i say it haha.
