Dont waste your time with TEIN basics. I had them on my 05 Scion TC and they were a waste of money, they ride like ***. They are really bouncy because their valving sucks *****. Your better off going with something like Omni Power or JIC Magic or Tanabe. Just my .02.

They dont go low enough in my opinion but I like a slammed car. If ur gonna get tein then get the super street. Dont be like me and get Tein basics. My car so bouncy when I am driving looks like I have hydros.

i had them in my 94 gsr and now i put the same ones in my 89 crx, in the teg they were an ok ride, and it was slammed i had 15s on it with 195/50-15 tires and the rears were tucked into the wheel well about 1 inch. the integra suspension in the crx rides really stiff at low speeds. there is no body roll, and at about 50mph on a back road it feels great because it absorbes the bumps well. in the crx it wont go more than about 2.5 inches drop (because its teg suspension in a crx), i leave it at about 1.5 inches drop. i never had a problem with it bouncing in either car.
