Thank you.

 

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:

 

That ride height is exactly what I am looking for.

 

how's the ride quality on the Basis?

 

I've driven a couple of customer cars on them, actually pretty good.

 

would like to know more thoughts on these, anyone install these recently?

 

I've got like 5k on mine and I love them.. Great ride goes low, not slammed. Great price can't beat them.

 

got any pics?

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

 

Thats also true, .6 would'nt hurt

 

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".

 

Also the rears are maxed out.. So you aren't going to get that "slammed" look with these. If you want a good coilover for under a grand and do not want the knock offs that have 140 adjustable settings and enjoy a firm suspension pick up some of these..

 

Looks awesome

 

I'd strongly suggest you also look at Fortune Auto 500 coilovers if you haven't already?

Rave reviews, adjustable height, throw in some Swift springs if you want even nicer ride quality...the benefits are all positive.

Hope this helps,

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!

 

Thanks for the input guys
