I've had them on my car for a few thousand miles.
No real complaints. A little lower than I expected, but I like the look enough to deal with careful driving. Handling is tight (i did all the front bushings while I was at it too). Ride is stiffer than stock , but I don't mind it. I drive mine daily.
I'll get a better picture at some point. There's not much wheel gap. I may lower the rear just a bit more, but this is the recommended setting:

I would like to lower it, but i like to drive my cars, i would not go for slammed look as that limits the places i can drive my car.
I drove a slammed Z once, it handled terrible in my opinion, may be it wasnt done right.
I am the kind of person who would go for 1-2 hours drives in the mountains, push them at the bends and just enjoy my cars, followed by occasional track use, but again, just for enjoyment
are these tein basis for me or they are gonna be too low?

Coilovers are only too low if you set them too low, it just depends on how far you want to go down, some people like to scrape, some peopl just need .6 of an inch and some people need the inbetween

My car is not slammed by any means... I absolutely love the stance my car has and wouldn't change it. As for handling, it's fun to scary people that have never been it a suspension fitted car with some meat on the wheels and go around some bendy's.
I also raised the front up about a 1/4".

Teins are excellent, don't settle for some garbage. I have had basics on two cars (My current daily has basics and I have put 75K on the same basics without a rebuild and the dampening is still tight).
I also have SS-Ps on my track Lude with stiffer springs. Excellent coilover.
I have the Flexs on my Z and they are awesome! I say they are on the stiff side for a daily driver. If you enjoy spirited driving and have no reason to adjust dampening then the basics are an excellent choice! Buy quality components once and just enjoy the hell out of them!
