Tein Basics do not have adjustable dampers, hence...

you'll get used to them... i know i instantly thought "what the hell did I do to my car" the first time I drove with the basics installed, but after 4 months of using them, I'm really happy with them.

if you want softer than the tein basics go with just springs or get a spring/strut that isn't stiff but allows a nice drop.
