TEIN: Street Basis vs. Basic

A fellow TL owner at work was asking me about my coil-overs (I have Megan Racing) because he's looking to lower his car. During the discussion he mentioned he was also looking at TEIN SS & Basic, both of which I've heard about before, but he also mentioned TEIN Street Basis...what's the word on these? Anyone install them on a TL yet?

Street Basics is the improved version of the Basics. There's a thread about it.

I found a few threads on it (lot of copy>paste from Tein site) and didn't give too much info as far as actual members with any first hand experience with them. Anyways...appreciate the info.

The Street Basis and the TEIN Basics have the same valving and the same spring rates. They just made some improvements to the internal construction and the external case which does not change the ride quality or firmness.

We have these in stock and ready to ship.
