Default Tein BASIC Damper.. any comments??

anyone know anyone with these? obviously, i'm looking for full coilovers but don't have $6216548 to spend on em.

i just wanna know if anyone has these or knows anyone with them. how do they hold up? is it safe to assume that the shocks are already a bit stiff since there is no damper adjustment? as stiff as my AGXs set to 3?

the basic damper sus. is very well priced IMO. if you are looking for something w/ ride height adjustability and no dampening adjustability, then this is the way to go. but if you want something w/ dampening adj. then i would save up a little bit more money and go with the tein SS' suspension

I'd also like to know more about the stiffness of these dampers. I e-mailed TEIN and they told me they are pretty much the same as the medium setting for the SS.

I am in the market for new shocks and am seriously considering these. from what ive seen so far they look good, at almost the same price as a set of quality shocks.
