I dont have the Basic, but i do have the SS w/pillow mounts. Still nice, but too soft IMO.

No, they aren't. Basics are overpriced and suck for what you're spending on them. I'd pony up a few extra dollars and get some Koni Yellows with Ground Controls. That way you'll have an adjustable shock with whatever spring rates you want instead of a poser entry level coilover.

Yes, they are stiffer than stock, but that's not saying much. And you've got to be kidding about the "tein is tein" comment...

im not looking for GREAT performance, i use it as a daily driver, and run 1/8 miles every now and then. just wanted to sit alittle lower and have a decent response to the road. isnt it better to get the same brand shock and coilover cause they were made to work with eachother? what else is available for thAT price range? any other suggestions? thanks
