Who Has Tein Basics On Car?

I am looking to get some Tein Basics but I wanted to feel how stiff the ride is first. Please let me know if anyone who has these on their car can let me ride along to get a feel for them.

Thanks

I guess Kris is the closest to me. You got any time this weekend for a quick ride around your block?

Oh yeah... Thats right.... I just dont want it to feel like a rock everytime I go over a bump or hit a dip. Sounds like the others are happy with these coilovers. I most likely will be adding a Richie strut bar to my car as well to get rid of some front flex. Maybe that will keep my sunroof from making the popping noise.

i dunno though... sometimes, i could care less about my car... some days i wanna mod the **** out of it...

anyways, i have to wait until we re-do our driveway before i drop my car. as is, the under carriage of my car is scraping when i drive down my driveway...

driveways are expensive... the lowest quote we have gotten has been $25K... most expensive, $50K.
