I can't wait for warmer weather here.

I am sure I am getting Tein coilovers. I want the Tein SS for the damping adjustment and in the future I want to install the interior damping computor. BUT I wonder if the Basics would be enough? I do want a more controlled suspension.

My 06 TL manual has 29k miles and feels a little soft. Also the rear goes down very easy when weight is put into it.

Should I spend the extra money and get the Tein SS over the Basics? Money really isn't that important.

in order for the EDFC to work you must buy tein-ss's and above. Basics wont do with the EDFC.

I say just go for the tein-ss's and buy the EDFC.

There is a shop in Atlanta that offered Tein Basics and install for $550. Is that about right?

Hey...now that you've driven with it for a bit. I've read that there may not even be a need for a camber kit. Just to have a really great alignment to get the toe adjusted. What has been your experience, please?

Awesome man, thanks for the info. Is Marcus the guy that has that shop also? I read a huge sticky about his opinion on alignment vs. camber equaling tire wear. I'm guessing he advised not to worrry about it. Great info especially with the prospect of having to spend over 300 bucks for front and rear camber kit. Plus, I have a compressor at home and I can rotate my tires every 5k miles!

Thanks again!
Jeremy
