hey guys decided im going to purchase the Tein Basic Damper i was wondering if anybodys has them n how they like um also i wanted to no if the kit comes w/ a camber kit or am i going to need to buy it from another company?
thanx
tony

 

It doesn't come with a camber kit so u will have to buy from a different company.

 

I'm running Tein Basics on my car and I'm pretty impressed. I would not recommend them for someone with a setup like mine but daily driving their perfect. Dampen harsh roads well, reduce body roll, can lower the car drastically and still ride well. I would say they are the perfect upgrade for anybody switching to a full coilover from springs.

If I were to do it again I would definately purchase the SS's, so I could adjust dampening. But for a reliable, soft ride, their a perfect coilover.

Also, purchase an Ingalls camber kit F/R. Some people will tell you not to buy the front but my camber was off up front.

 

i have tein basics and like everyone says they are great for a daily driver. good drop, nice ride, handles great. but if I could i would have goten tein ss and if i could afford them i would have gotten tein flex. but that was way out of the question for me.

 

how many inches can u lower on tein basics?

 

what company should i purchase the camber kit from?

perfect for daily driving, tried them on some other cars and my friend's RSX and prelude...
Wish they could adjust some damping though.

Overall, Tein lives by their name

 

do the tein ss come w/ a camber kit or they also dnt?

 

I love my tiens. they ride great. i have flex's though

 

what is the cheapest price you can find tein basics for?

no

 

i got Tein SS-P w/ EDFC and i love the whole set up . I also needa get a camber kit tho ingalls or spc.

 

why do you all like basics??? They have no dampener adjusters, so you cant fine tune it for stiffness or softness. And no, basics DO NOT have pillowball upper mounts. only super streets, type flex, etc have them

o yea.. we like basic because maybe some of us don't need the function to adjust damper...maybe we just want something with height adjustibility. geezz.

If they dont come with the pillow ball mounts then you reuse the stock strut caps. But SS is also perfect for a DD.

 

wont the pillowball mounts make it harsher for daily driving? if so then why would your want them for daily driving?

That is true, pillowball mount will make a lot of noise after a period and then will make me keep thinking something wrong with the suspension, so I only use stock upper mount with my Tein N1 too.

 

the pillow ball upper mounts are supposed to be able to adjust camber.
