Hi every one, I currently have my tl lowered on h&r springs, but want to change to a coil over set up this spring.
I need opinions, tein basics or ss, and also with both do you still have to use your oem top mounts or do either come with the top mounts? And are rear camber arms completely necessary when using the coil overs, or it depends how low I go with them?
Any feedback would be great! Thanks in advance.

 

Neither the tein basics or ss come with top mounts, you need to reuse the oem bits and pieces to complete the setup.

Rear camber arms will depend on how low you plan on going.

 

The TEIN Basics and SS require you reuse your top mounts. If you're going to spend the money I'd recommend getting the SS so you can adjust the damping to the level of firmness appropriate to you.

The rear camber/toe arms may be necessary depending on how low you go but you'll need to get an alignment to find out for sure.

If you want a coilover that comes with top hats but is softer like the TEIN's get our XLR8 ISC coilovers in the Street/Comfort setting:

Sorry to thread jack but are the XLR8 ISC coilovers a comfy ride or stiff? Ive had BC coils but im looking for something a little bit comfy...

 

I wouldn't call them comfortable. If you get the Street/Comfort setup though it is fairly street compliant and "comfortable". Our XLR8 ISC coilovers use an aluminum top mount so it won't be as soft as the OE or TEIN suspension which use top mounts with rubber bushings.
