Default People w/Tein Basic's Happy???

Can't handle the ride quality of my 03 Z anymore and was thinking of getting Tein Basic's for the price. Wanted Koni Yellows and Eibach Pro Kit but performance shop tried to get me to get the Tein's. Originally wanted Nismo s-tune but haven't had the funds for any more mods. Don't want to much of a drop but want to improve ride. Any help please....thanks!

I just installed my Basics last week. The install was relatively easy. The car looks great and I feel that it drives a lot smoother than my 03 suspension. I'm happy with the product and I would reccomend the BASICS to anyone looking to lower thier car with coilovers for a decent price.

Just talked to Tripp. Tein Basic for his "new" roadster and Stillen Sway should arrive at his shop, Speed Dreams, sometime today or tomorrow. Plans on having them installed for you to check out at the 350Z/G35 "Meet and Greet" at Elliott's Grill here in Albuquerque, NM on Sunday, 30 January @ 2:00 PM.

Hey projectsherv or anybody else running 10.5 rears, do you have any rubbing issues? That's the same rim set up I just ordered but LE37T's. I just want to be sure I won't have any rubbing issues without having to resort to rolling the fenders. Thanks for the info.

Thanks for the info, one guy was telling me that he had to roll his fenders but then again he dropped his 1.5". Sweet that's what I will order then, and now to figure out what shocks to get.

...FYI, the Tien basics come as a system, strut coilovers front, coil/shocks rear. Adjustable height on shock in front, coil height adjuster rear.
