So I noticed that Tein released a "basic" coilover for civics/integras. Now my question is, does anyone have them? I don't see much talk about them. I did a few searches in this forum and the road race/auto-x forum but only saw threads about the SS. I've been considering these for my EK. TIA.

 

They probably as good as the Apex i WS dampers. No adjustable. softer spring rates.

 

So the Tein springs are softer? I know they aren't adjustable just wanted to see what people thought they are used best for? Street, auto-x, drag etc...

 

Actually I was wrong. They are the same spring rates it seems as the SS just non-adjustable struts.

As for how they are for auto crossing....no clue. I know my SS's are more then plenty for everyday driving.

 

What are the "basic" Tein's going for?
I installed my ebay coilovers on my OEM shocks yesterday (3 of the 4) and NOT happy with the ride. Since I could not get the 4th nut off the front shock I left the sleeves at stock height. Talking about a $hitty ride

I'm looking for a full-coilover set-up that is less than 1k.

First I've heard of the Tein basic coilovers.

When I had the 98 Civic LX I was running GC's / Bilstein HD's. Pretty nice ride, but I'm going for the full set-up this time around. No cutting bumpstops / dust boot covers this time. Just want to unpack and install

 

Talk to Vtecvoodoo about Teins. I am one of many happy customers of his

i love my SS's

 

what do you mean by nice ride? Comfortable, aggressive.. cause im not sure what you mean by "nice ride"

 

my teins are awesome because when i drive around town i have them on like 2-3 (very smooth ride) and then when i get to the track.....i crank them up to 16
