Default Anyone have any experience with Tein Type basics?

Searching for an adjustable suspension for my R. I drag race, and am trying to get into the auto X scene as well (R-speed) . I did a search but wasn't satisfied. Brandon @ inlinefour suggested them. Said they were very streetable but couldn't verify thir track performance. Any experience wih them?
Please help

basics on a ITR would probably only be marginally better then stock.

Basics are available for ITR fitment? I thought the lowest level they offered was FLEX.

They are not made for type R and for good reason, they blow goats

Any suggestions on a good coilover and shock setup for street and strip around $800.00.

Are you visiting us at Watkin's this coming week?

If so, take a ride with Dave Bowlin, (you'll have to fight with me for a seat but,,,)

He will be in project Type-R that is in the process of being built for ECHC race series. Ride with him and see just how good the ITR's stock suspension really is. If I remember correctly, he will just about have his car setup minus the Buddy Clubs. Hang with us and see what the guys run and even get a ride with some cars with pretty well known setups.

My point is not to discourage you neccessarily (I'll let Grandpa do that ) but, for you to really see and feel what the car is capable of in stock and different levels of modded form. In many cases Less is better and unlikely or less known, advertised or less popular setups are just as good or better.

If you want a new suspension for whatever reason other than pure performance then fine that's not a problem and totally up to you. Remember though that Too many adjustments or choices can be a headache as well. And please don't cheap out on a suspension for the R since it comes pretty damn well set up completely stock.

End of sermon.

See you Sunday?


Anton

I think the only thing that price is a ground control / koni setup.
