Default Need Thoughts On Tein's

Hey guys, i need some thoughts/info on the Tein Basics, now, i want real life experience, not the bs i have read when searchin on this, I read alot of people say, man, the basics are for ppl that just want to say they have teins, blah blah, bs..

sorry for my mini rant! down to the bizzy!
OK, so i am planning on buying the basics for my 93 eg, now, im not a heavy tracker/autox/whatever, but, i do here and there... I want a good handling car, and not super harsh, so i have been told these would more than likely be good for me.. So i guess i would like some peoples thoughts and personal experience with these, any thoughts welcome! thanks alot in advance

My wife has Tein S-tech's on her rex. nice drop, but isn't as stiff as I would like, but it seems to be just right for her tastes.

I've got the SS's and in relation to the topic, the quality of the product is really nice. So there's that much for tein... if you plan on stepping up the the SS's I'd say it's well worth it, but since I don't have nor have I experienced the basics I can't make too much of a judgment there...

i own ss's and i am happy with them. the basics are basically ss's w/o the dampening adjustability. the s tech springs are nice although you would probly want to upgrade your shocks for best performance. ill bet the basics are pretty good for the budget enthusiast

search in the Classifieds. it may take some time but, i've seen 2-3 in the past 5 months or so.... slighty used, but in good shape.

it all depends on if you want it now, ow your can wait just a while......

Basics = too expensive for a non adjustable shock.

KYB GR-2s and some coilovers.
