Just installed my TEIN Basics today. Really Protocav did all the work with minor help from me, but in the process I learned how to and also realized that I hardly have any tools! The drop is mean and the sedan looks mean. Stuck a couple of TEIN stickers that come with it and already two different people tried to flex on the highway. I will post pictures soon, probably tomorrow. So far, very little difference from stock ride.

Very nice...the drop looks good. Not a fan of the stickers though.

Did you run a dyno session both before and after you put on the stickers so we can see the gain in HP/TQ? :-)

bullseye i will let you know the dyno resutls as soo nas the little green bug-eyed guy decides to give me some damn HP! he may not stay there long then.

Chad, thanks for the correction on the drop, i misinformed the folks here. I am going to take off the front wheel mud flaps, they are rubbing on speed bumps and such.

with tein basics u dont need a camber kit right? I talked to my friend whos really into drifiting in his 240 (knows a LOT about suspension) and tryed to explain to me how tein basics adjust on the 240sx... and said they prolly have the same kind of adjustment for the G so that i dont have to worry about not being able to get it to align. i really dont like how ur car looked pre-suspension... and i am thinking that this means i wont like my car either after i get the 19's with really low profile tires. I'm trying to decide between springs and camber kits or tein basics tho>>>

also.... are the basics stiffer in front and rear? the same? stiffer front and not as stiff in rear? what are the spring rates.... i dont want to go down from stock spring rates is why i ask

I gave you a lot of the info your asking for just a few hours ago, can you please go that that post and read it. I don't want to think I spend a lot of time answering for nothing.
