I posted a thread about not being happy with my Tein Basics. In short, the ride is horrible for everyday driving. Yes, the car corners 10X better than before but I am only enjoying that about 1% of my driving time, The other 99% is spent being bumped and jostled around. The car feels like its getting the **** beat out of it too, makes more rattles, bumps and creaks than ever.


WHAT SHOULD I GET???

Go back to stock shocks and Eiback Prokit maybe? What other springs are out there that you are happy with. Looking for a close to stock feel but dropped about 1"-1.5" fr/rear.

 

Just made an appointment to get the Basics removed and Eibach Prokit installed. I have until Saturday so if there is any important info I need about this choice please let me know. I'm really counting on the group for info, that's what were all here for anyway, right?

 

Are Teins adjustable for damping and rebound? If so, maybe they set too firmly. If they are not adjustable, you will want some Tokico D-Specs to go with the Eibachs. You can adjust variably from soft to hard as a rock.

 

The Tein Basic are not adjustable for stiffness, only height.

 

forgive my entry level question, what shocks are you using with the coil overs? Did the Tein's come with their own shock?

 

Yes.

 

you gonna be sellin the basics?

 

Absolutely! Less than 150 miles on them, can get tuner shop to attest to that. I'm in Dallas, Texas.

Also will be selling TEIN H-Techs and a Skunk2 Plenum Spacer ...

 

Only suggestion I can make is to get adjustable dampers/shocks to go with the coilovers.
