Just as I thought!

Seriously, if anyone has had experience with the TEIN BASIC Damper I would be grateful for your impressions.

A good set of springs cures the bounce too, but for the money, Tein is an awesome setup - very simple though,a s the name implies. Just 1 way heigh adjustment , nothing else.

Let us know - we are an authorized Tein Dealer!

Another cure for the bounce has been reported to be bushings (BJ AKA dwnshift confirmed this). Apparently, the stock bushings are not very dense and can store a lot of energy like a spring. When released, they are supposed to contribute grately to the bouce. Replacing them with a denser urethane reduces the compression and the contribution to the bounce. You might want to consider this.

I knew it, I knew it. Once I didn't see a singe road test of the roadster complain about the ride quality and actually praised is ride for being better than the other car's they were compairing it to, I knew they had to of made a change.

I pray they didn't just go to G35 coupe valving
