tein basics are only height adjustable not damping adjustable. so if your plan is like mine just droping the car to a desired height and leave it as is, but still want the option to raise or lower the vehicle then get the tein basics. If you want to play with the damping then get the Super Street.

the lowest setting on the basics would give you a drop of 3.5 front and 2.7 rear on your 94 accord, but here's the site http://tein.com/badamp.html if you have a different year.

lets now compare the prices on some set ups. ( these are the cheapest i found on groupbuycenter, but you may find some cheaper if you look hard enough)

Tein basics: height adjustable fullcoilovers, price on groupbuycenter 630+ (i got mines for 650 shipped for 02 accord)

Tein Super Street: height adjustable and damping adjustable 875 on groupbuycenter.

Koni neuspeed edition 535.00, Koni "yellows" 510.00
eibach sportline 209.30
total=719.30-744.30

neuspeed race 129.95= 15.00 shipping on aieonline.com
neuspeed race+koni neuspeed or regular yellows
total=655.00-680.00

As you can see the cost of tein basics are about the same if not cheaper then some spring/shock combo.

But as i said earlier, I got tein basics on my 02 accord coupe and i love it, great for daily driving and its cost freindly. I really recomend getting tein basics if you're just a daily driver. Track is a different story i guess.
