My question to everyone saying Tein's, is, is the added cost over the Skunk2 really worth it and have any of you with the Tein's rode in a Skunk2 equip car?

The Tein brand name carries alot of weight but is it really worth the extra money. I did find the basics for $750 but that is without the upper mount. So this makes me really wonder just how great can the Tein be over the Skunk2's being as such, you are getting less for more....

Thanks for the feedback fellas!

Super Streets are only $1000. thats a pretty good deal and you also get the option of adjusting the stiffness of your dampers.

i just like the super streets. i think they are a good way to start. i dont know anything about the skunk2's but i think tein has a good rep for a reason.

Don't waste your money on Tein overrated BS when you can get Koni's and GC sleeves for a couple hundred less. Then when you realize later that the Basics arn't good enough for you, you wont have to buy a whole new suspension.

good luck on the install but are u going to he hitting up any canyons or anything? if u are and u want to get a little more out of ur basic damper you should kick up ur spring rate a little bit. cus with the basic kit the spring rate is lbs/in450font lbs/in220rear which is the same for the super streets.
