Alright guys, through alot of dilemma i THINK im gonna go with the Tein Basic Coilovers. I would Just like some reviews from fellow owners, if possible. I was gonna go with 350z h techs and change my shocks later but i dont wanna pay double labor charge and i wanna be able to mess with the drops on the car.

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

 

I don't know if you have a coupe or sedan, but here's my review: https://g35driver.com/forums/reviews/35796-review-tein-basics-350evo-arms-spc-camber-kit.html

Also, Basics are not coilovers, they are a separate spring and damper system.

 

i have the basics and they are great. ride's not too harsh.

i love mine...for everyday use they rock. great stiffness in turns when u need it, but not so harsh that you cant stand it. in LA roads its bad enough as it is, and i thought it would be horrible w/ a suspension, but they are great...recomend them

 

how do the Basics compare to the '05 Sport Suspension?

 

so the basics aren't really coilovers?

 

they are coilovers i would say.. because u can adjust the height.. just not the damping

 

they are coilovers.

i have mine and love them.
the cornering is great
they are a little stiff so if your looking for ride comfort then you probably wont like them too much.

i cant wait to test them out at zdayz this year.
318 turns in 11 miles.

 

^+ 1, I tried mine out for the first time up there in October can't wait to go back for Zdayz just booked our cabin. VERY good set up for the $$$$$!!

 

hi-jacking
scott wheres your cabin at this year?
kptechnologies is right in front of the field (where the car show was) again this year.

 

We are in cabin 424 which is supposed to be right across from the rec. center. We are actually going up on the 17th to get a little time on the Dragon before the crowds get there.

 

I've had my basics for a while now and love them. I have a 6mt sedan and don't do the track or racing, but it gives the car a very good look lowered. You will need to invest in a set of sway bars as well to complete the package. Since the basic springs are much stiffer than the factory ones you will have a weight transfer ratio to the front i believe, that's how mine turned out, the sways completed the package to get the weight distributed as evenly as possible. Gsedan35 has a very comprehensive link on that topic, he's one of the suspension gurus on this site. Just use the search option and you'll find it.

 

I've had my basics on for almost 6 months now and am very happy with them. Just be prepared to sacrifice some ride comfort. This mod certainly stiffens up your ride.

 

Bud as good as tien's are. If i were u I would still check out the KW coilovers. Check out the V3's I have em on my coupe, and its perfect. There a bit more. But there better. Check em out before u make up your mind.
