If you're looking for a daily driver setup and maximum ride comfort the TEIN Basics or Super Streets would be a good fit. I would recommend purchasing the SS because you have the damping adjustment and it's worth the extra $200. You may not adjust it often but you will want to set your damping to what you want and then leave it alone.

Tein SS is definitely on my list. I wonder when my stock suspension will start to give out. Still feels great at 45k miles.

It can actually be nice and soft too if you set the damping softer.

tein ss for 20k miles.. still rides like it was brand new.

dont cheap out on suspensions.. it will cost you more down the line...

dont even bother with basics.. shed a few more dollars and get the SS.

Definitely Tein SS. I would recommend the TEIN controller as well. Good stuff. Control your stiffness from within the car. Driving mother in law home, set to soft, race back home on stiff.

tein ss feel 100 times better than stock suspension.When i changed mine the car had about 2k on it and boy what a difference. Even when set to the lowest level they were still extremely comfortable.
