I dont EVER plan on going auto crossing or going on crazy hard turns with the 6MT. I just wanna be able to ride good with NO bottoming out, nice handling for the main streets, NO ground-control/skunk2 coilover like type of ride.
-so for conclusion would you guys reccomend this for me?
-how are the shock absorsers with this kit? are they high quality?
-i know tein is real popular and reputable but is there stuff grade A quality?
-any rusting occur on the tein basics?
thanks guys

Tein Basic (twin tube construction, non adjustable dampners )
Spring rates 504/504
Stiffer then oem by F+61% R+43%
Bilstein PSS coil over (Monotube construction, non adjustable dampners)
Special Note: Mild spring rates, but Bilstein says the dampners are performance valved
Spring rates 370/240-420 (rear progressive)
Stiffer then oem by F +18% R +23% (at peak rear spring rate)

Note: Must admit, the rear progressive rate spread is much more then I'd but up with. Easy to fix, $100 for a pair of Eibach linear ESS springs.

A "bit more",..................$1.7K vs $750.
KW coilovers Variant's 1,2&3
Monotube construction, (opps, just found out they are twin tubes)
V1=non adjustable dampning,
V2=adjustable damping,
V3=separate adjustability for compression damping AND rebound damping and is the only product of it’s kind at this time.
Spring rates Front 485lbs to 525Lbs Rear: 240Lbs to 548Lbs (progressive springs)
Notes: High progressive rear spring rate spread can be fixed easily with Eibach ESS springs in place of the KW rear springs, cheap fix at only $100 for a pair.
Seperate rebound and seperate compression dampning sounds like a upmarket high end feature, which it is. The catch is, it is a very complicated thing to actually do correctly, it's all too easy to make a change that seems like a positive change, but really isn't.
In that same price point I'd rather have the HKS RS coilover setup or something that hs ride height adjustablity seperate from spring preload.

It really balanced the car and i was able to take more aggressive turns with less bounce and body roll. Money well spent
Not to nick pick, Basics use linear springs (thank god
