I just put in the basis, definitely best bang for the buck. Not super low but definitely an improvement over 12 year old oem suspension. Best price I found and they shipped for free and I got them in 2 days.
Ended up going with the tein basis because Mr Terra up their said they were decent when I thought because the low price they must have been garbage... ive only had them on a few days but can say best $600 ive spent on this car yet. (Worst $600 being the carbon fiber hatch)

So far I am happy as a pig in ****, its not as harsh as the oem suspension, and handling has improved. (Maybe just in my head but it feels noticeably better)... Also looks better although my sunken in oem wheels are more noticeably in need of a better offset...
Car is an 04 with 75k miles, it was time for some updates, but if I had not been so hesitant about them because the price I would have gotten them much sooner and would recommend them to anyone who doesn't want ultra low and needs some new shocks, and wants some lowering springs.
I was originally going to go with the bc because their $1000 price tag also seamed attractive, but having so many options in suspension I usually just get frustrated and roll the dice and hope for the best. So far so good.

Simple setup, easy to adjust, hard to screw up the setup and have great resale if you decide to change direction in the future.

Yea my car has 95k on it and the OEM still feels good but it's sitting too high right now. Im not trying to scrape anything but id like to lower it 1-2inches to match my 19s Rota

I got mine for the vender above, they are by far the cheapest price I found and had free delivery... I got mine in 2 days... They are also on this forum and have a link to their site on the right side of the screen.
They also post funny gif pics that I steel from.time to time.
Those $600 lowering springs are going to cost you more than those Bc coilovers once the new springs destroy your 12 year old struts within the next few months. Then you'll need struts to match your springs lol
dboy- Curious to see how they hold up over time DD'ing. I was trying to make the choice between tein basis or tokico hp+s tech springs and ended up goin the shock/spring combo.

It was a toss up, I was planning on the tokico s-tech or even stock spring's myself but I figured what the hell, I honesty don't drive my car that much... It's more like a weekly driver... Hopefully over the summer I use it more, im lazy at 6 am and have 3 other cars that need a weekly use.
