I have them on mine, they're ok but I would suggest if cash isn't an issue go for the sports at least. My ride a is a bit bumpy but I may suspect its the tires not the Teins.

Sports? The Super Street and the Basic are the same except for the SS are adjustable dampening. They are going to ride the same.

If you are referring to increased harshness over bumps, then yes, that is your wheels and tires, not the coilovers.


The Basics are a great setup. Slightly firmer than stock, excellent fit and quality, excellent factory support for revalving, different springs, and warranty. I have sold many sets of Teins on here and I think the Basics are one of the best systems you can buy.

U can adjust how the strut rebounds and therefore it somewhat smooths out ur ride...but its really not all the noticeable...basics are fine i bet.

Well, it goes both ways...it will either make the suspension seem firmer or softer.

It is noticable to people who pay close attention to that kind of thing. But as you mentioned the Basics are fine for people to whom it would be a splitting hair difference.
