Default Question for those of you that have TEIN coilovers

I am looking into picking up a set of BASIC's. Need feedback if these are as good as I am told.

I have the HE's. they are ok. not bad for the price. if you get them for about 700 i guess they aren't bad. but they don't have damping control do they? If I were to do it again, I would have saved for them JIC magics.

JIC, TEIN, HKS are all good brands.

I am looking at the BASIC street. They are $650+shipping.

I figure they would ride better than a set of koni Yellow and skunk 2 C/O.


I am not looking for auto cross or anything like that. I want a good ride and have the ablity to adjust ride height as needed.

I personally don't think they'd ride better than yellows and skunk2 with custom spring rates. You can adjust the damper on the yellows so you can decide if you want a nice ride or if you want to handle a little better, you can't with the Basics. but then again, they are "TEIN"s... woopty doo.
