What's a good setup? Tein Basic?
I am planning to lower my car enough to kill the gap, but i have NO knowledge of suspension. Some people suggest Tein Basic Coliovers to me, because it's not too expensive ($800) and is adjustable. I don't need a fancy suspension, but i do want my suspension last(instead of just replace the spring). Any suggestion is appreicated, thx.

Basics are only ride height adjustable, and not dampening adjustable....if you also want dampening adjustability (control how hard/soft the ride is), you can go with TEIN CS, FLEX / CUSCO / JIC / HKS......
If his goal is only to lower the car, the BASIC is all he needs. Another might be Megan Racing, which is a little more expensive, but offers a lot more adjustability and does come with pillow mounts aswell.
tein is pretty good..
but if you are looking for a dual purpose coilover. With independent preload and height adjustment and damping adjustment zeals are also good but they are pretty pricey. Megan racing i would stray away from since they aren't that reputable as of yet

I have the H&R springs on my sedan with 245/35/20's and there is no gap at all. Plus the back does not sag like with the Eibach's.

He gave me a ride with the Zeals. My goodness... I was ready to plunk down money right then and there, even before trying out my new setup. He's evil I tell you! He lures you in with lower prices then smacks you with new mods!
Just kidding :P

correct...
i just don't like the basics...
they don't allow for independent spring preload and ride height adjustment..
anything other than tein factory specs will equate to losing stroke

they aren't that great.
but if you don't care about ride harshness or handling and just want to lower your car a lot
then go with megan racing.
