Tien Basic coilovers?

They are decent entry level coilovers i guess. good price, but no shock dampening (which is most important to me). I have also heard they are 'soft' and if you lower it too much you will bottom out a lot.
Try looking into k-sport coilovers.

^^^ I agree. I would definitely recommend them as a street setup, especially since you want to go low but not too low. Currently, I have them set at a tight two finger gap. I've never scraped with the kit on. The ride is really comfy still on smooth roads and just a bit harsh on rougher roads.

ANY coilover could potentially bottom out if it's lowered too much.
If you want something stiff, you can get Eibach's setup of springs, dampeners and anti-roll bars for about the same price as Teins. IMO, KSports are a poor choice unless you don't really care about day to day comfort . . . or that of your passengers.

This is almost on the lowest setting.
The ride feels great. Its a little stiffer than stock but still rides smooth.
I really dont have any problem with bottoming out unless I hit a deep pot hole.
I wouldnt go this low unless you dont have a problem going sideways over speed bumps and driveways.

I know this is a noobish question, but can the basics be set at stock height. Reason why I'm asking is because of the winters here in MN. Also, what's the lowest drop you can go without needing a camber kit?

I believe the minimum drop with the basics is -0.9" in the front and back, so the highest you could be is 1" lower than stock. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong.
The need for camber kits varies from car to car, but I'd say any drop over 1.5" greatly increases the possible need for a camber kit.
