stock suspension replacement
my car needs new shocks soon so im wondering....is buying the tein basic coilover (comes with shocks) a good OEM replacement for shocks/struts? Does it ride better then stock shocks or good as shock struts? Is it easy to adjust the ride height? Can it be adjusted to stock height?
Reason Im askin is that my stock struts will probably blow soon and I dont have my stock spring....and the cheap ebay coilovers are pathetic (yes I regret it)...Its hard as hell to adjust the ride height...the perches dont twist as smooth....so I want to get rid of the ebay coilovers. Buying the full stock shock and spring from the honda dealer will cost me $800+. Tein Basic Coilovers comes with shocks and coilovers for $750 so I figured I might as well get the Teins. I need some insight guys.
Cliff notes: Need new springs and shocks. Is the Tein Basic Coilovers a good replacement? Remember guys, I do not race or do any of that hardcore street stuff. I just use the car to go to school and work.

I've got the Tein SS coilovers and love them. if you are using your car as a daily driver its a great upgrade. you'll get what you pay for and its worth it. the coilovers are the best mod I've done to my car so far. I highly recommend them.
