Tein Basic coilovers
I know there are other choices. I know there's the Tein SS that is adjustable. I know that is a plus, it's worth it, etc.
Can someone tell me if Tein Basic is "too stiff?" Set to one of the higher settings and NOT slammed.
Would it be something your wife or mother would complain about?

on a side note, if you decide to get any of these tein products make sure you get the type-s bushings. they are far superior to the standard rubber bushings in the top mounts. they cost about $120 for all 8 of them (2 per top hat assembly).

^^^ I agree
the basis are not too stiff for the track and not too soft to be called stock....they are somewhere in the middle....i like em and have been rocking them for 70K miles....
they ride nice....they are stiff enough to corner quickly....never had complains.....

first off, disregard the basics...this is an obsolete product. they have been replaced by the street basis. anyways, i just installed the tein street basis (simply an upgraded version of the basics...however, they do allow you an additional max drop height of ~.4" compared to basics or super streets) and they ride very well...and i'm lowered about 1-3/4" (not slammed by any means). every passenger in my car (men & women) has said the ride is very comfortable.

^^^ you can drop anywhere between 0 and 2.5" if am not mistaken....you can go flush on them....if you are looking for SLAMMED, then this might not be or you....
also look into the XLR8 ISCN1 coils....they are awesome !!! Ask Josh (XLR8) to give a quote on them....
after almost 85K miles on my Tein Basics (ZERO Complains) I sold them and bought the XLR8 ISC N1's. These coils offered me height adjustment + preload adjustment + 32 way damper adjustment....and they come with top hats installed....I absolutely love these coils....
Josh being one of the premium vendors and always a helpful guy, I know if there are any issues he will address them as soon as humanly possible....definitely look into those as well
