atleast get the Tein SS or better... I have the SS and they are great, the basic setup is alright, but adjustablilty is nice, you'll regret not getting the SS.

SS's are basically the same. No helper springs and the springs rates a tad less agressive....BUT.......you can get them serviced here in America. Good luck if need some RE's serviced. I may take a few months.

yes but the dampers aren't adjustable like the SS and aboe.

You really are getting a basic setup. They similar in setup to the Apex'i WS Dampers.
