the transformation is complete...
how do u like the tein basics? Would you say there is a drastic change in suspension? i figured if i'm going to spend almost a grand on suspension i want something that definately has a completely different change to the way the car drives. I really like the tein basics due to the price, but if the ride is only a little stiffer than stock, then i might as well fork out a little more for the flex. Can you give me some in put on this? Thanks

Thanks guys, I really appreciate it!
On the Teins - it might depend on what you're starting off with... in my case --with the 2005 sport package suspension -- the Teins are definitely not much different... the '05 suspension was surprisingly stiff and rough (on crappy roads anyway) for OEM pieces and I was actually hoping that the Tein's wouldn't be much "worse" than that... In the end, they did exactly what I wanted: allowed me to set the ride height, produce the same characteristics in a straight line going over bumps, and improved body roll when cornering hard... I would almost say that the change was the same as if you had kept the stock coilovers but added swaybars, ie. it only feels different when cornering...

Nice! Looks aggressive. I just ordered Tein Basics and Stillen sways. What settings do you have them on? I like the stock ride now (not kidney busting). I wanna lowered the G and keep that supple ride is that possible with the Teins? Thanks in advance.

SickG35: were yours "burning black" or straight black? They look darker than mine but that could just be the lighting...
SinG35c: I have the rears set as low as they will go... the fronts are set the way Tein suggests which provides plenty of drop for me... you could go up or down from there on the fronts...
