i have a problem i have different ideas about each one of these and hoping that u can make my desision a little easier. i drive a 99 civic hatch that has tokico hp blues with cheap coilovers that i bought a week after buying my car. i have learned my lesson on the cheap setup and trying to fix it. i could ......

1) buy some better coils/ springs and get rid of the cheap coilovers that i have and keep my 1 yr old tokico blues.

2)sell my whole sus. and buy some ten basics for $640 shipped and be happy, but there have been some bad reviews on these from a few people. " they need to be sent back after a yr" , or " dont go with tein b/c it is not made for a smooth ride" i dont know what to beilieve and then theres the ones that say to go with the basics.

3)sell whole sus. and buy the tanabe sustec pro for $690. the only thing is that i dont know anyone that has this suspension on their hatch or civic that can tell me that they are good or bad.

if u have any ideas to help me in my process in deciding please post and help me out. i juss want a smooth ride with a nice look to my hatch. i am not ballin out of control to get some insane sus setups either, be reasonable. if u have a better idea for me also post and help me out.

wheres all the help??

 

Just got some tein SS. I will let you know how I like them, I am putting them on tomorrow.

 

got the teins on. I love them grab some of these if you can i would say.

 

there's plenty of suspension threads in here....

screw both Tanabe and Tein

 

i ride on tein RE, a true track ready setup...very stiff, but isnt that what you want for performance on the track and street? the shock bodies of the re's are all aluminum so they dont rust.

 

dude I will have to watch out for the rust. thanks for the heads up.

 

thanks for all of ur opinons i am pushing more towards keeping my shocks and either getting sproings or coils

 

the new tein ss has a protective coating for the threads to prevent rusting, just to let everyone know. check their website http://www.tein.com

If you decide to go with Tein, save your money for the Flex system rather than the Basics. The Flex is a more versatile setup that has been proven to last longer.
