Default tien basics?

i was looking through some coilovers and i came across these.. are these good for track use? are they comparable to say HKS hipermax II or Cusco Zero-1's? i want a nice stiff coilover that can be used for daily driving, but then be also taken to the track and handle like a race car... also ones that can have an adjustable ride height... is this the coilover for me? any experiences?

It's spelled TEIN.

These are perfect for daily driving.

yes they can be tracked but if you go with the TEIN with EDFC you can have the manual adjustable height, and also have the control unit inside the car for stiffness and softness with the touch of a button, therefore you can have the ride softer for daily driving and then stiffen it up for track use.....

I had the Tein Basics on my car up until a couple of weeks ago.. They were great for the street.. Rides a lot like the stock suspension except a little better behaved..

Not sure about how well they will track however as I have never tracked my car with them.. They are height adjustable only .. no dampener adjustment.. Add some nice sways like the Hotchkis and you will have a very decent handling setup..

from what you are describing, it looks like the Tein Flex with EDFC might be better suited for you.

Basics are more for just street use. Too soft for tracking IMO.
