Tein Basics aren't damping adjustable

I'd get Koni Yellow (Adjustable) Shocks with Ground Control Coilover Sleeves

but yeah. for 100 bux more you get lifetime warranty on the parts, relatively cheap revalving, able to handle 500 lb springs OTS. and easily able to swap out springs if you want a rear bias, or stiffer stuff.

When you asked what the difference between the $299 ground controls and the ~$700 teins was, the tein setup is adjustable springs and shocks, the 299 ground controls is just adjustable springs. Personally I'd probably go with koni yellows and the ground controls over the tein setup, although I think it will be a little more expensive. imho

the shock isn't adjustable. just the spring/ride height. you need to spend more to get the other options tein has.
