Tein Basic pics

I love this new Tein Basic set-up. It suits my needs to a tee. Currently, my G is lowered just a bit over 1" all around. Thanks for dropping in. Here are some pics . . .

Thanks, guys . . . No, I do not have any spacers installed. The wheel offsets are as follows: +19 front/+29 rear.

Thanks . . . Yup, personally, I have always liked the meaty look inlieu of a stretched look. Either looks great . . . It's simply a matter of personal taste.

From a handling point of view, I love this set-up over my previous set-ups. I actually like the ride quality. It's a bit stiffer than before, but not as stiff as other set-ups. However, some may not find the ride quality to their liking.

Yes, absolutely . . . However, I am going to see how she handles through the twisties during our upcoming local Santa Cruz run. There are plenty of cresting/pitched turns. And as such, during a previous run, a few members noted that they were bottoming out at some points.

How is the ride quality, camber, and alignment issues?

Nice ride by the way...

The ride quality is excellent. It is just a tad bit stiffer than my OEM sports tuned suspension. Keep in mind that those whom have a softer OEM suspension set-up may find the Tein Basic a bit harsh.

I have no issues with the camber or the alignment. I have the SPC rear camber/toe kit. Both the rear and front tires had been wearing evenly with Tein Z H-Tech springs for the past 8k miles. My new alignment specs with this new set-up are the same . . . So, hopefully the tire wear will be just fine.
