just a question

hey guys my car is lowered on 350z tanabe gf210, my question is, will the tein basic lower the car more than this or will i even be able to keep the same height? I will like to have a stiffer ride but the main reason why i want to go with coilovers, cause i need to raise the car when i'm going to store it for winter my driveway is a little F***** up

Tein Basics I do believe go lower but they dont offer damper capibilities to adjust the stiffness. You should look into BC or Function & Form coilovers since those are the best bang for the buck and you can adjust the dampening.

I have Tein Basics and I hate the fact that I took a collar off and I still have a little gap on the rear wheels!!! I need to do the springmount mod to lower it more. The fronts lower good enough to cover or tuck rims, but not by much. If your getting a good deal on basics and you like the stock ride feel with some lowering adjustability go for it. They will lower more than your Tanabe's!

Thanks!! Yes, you keep the springmounts, but you can cut around the springmount to lower it more.
