Default Tein Basic Coil-Overs

Just wondering if anyone has the Tein "Basic Coil-Overs"...

How is the ride quality? Also wondering how low they will go down because i have 19" Volks and i want em to tuck.

And are these coil overs worth it or should i just go w/ a spring/shock combo?

Thanks.

for coil overs.. these are deifntly the best bang for the buck!

ride is beautiful... strong, stable, sporty, yet not very harsh but stiffer then stock, no bouncy like stock,

we have these in stock too..

Now dont forget... if you drop more then an inch you should defintly consider getting a front upper control arm, and rear camber and toe arms..

No problem

Im sure you will enjoy the suspension as much as you will enjoy getting it shipped the same day you order it

I'm thinking about ordering the Tein Basics with in the week. How low did you set yours? I was looking at the installation guide on Tein's site, and they are dropping more in the front than the rear. I went out and messured my stock setup (using the same method they do), and i think i'd like to drop mine about 1.0" in the rear and maybe a little less in the front. What do you suggest? Also, do they settle like eibachs do? Thanks.
