I haven't heard from anyone with them yet, I've got the SS and from what I know the only thing that its lacking from the SS is the adjustable dampening. for the price its a great deal, I'm guessing the ride should be close to stock.

The handling on them are great. one of the best mods I've done for my car. I've had a ton of people make comments about them saying that its suprising how smooth the ride is. I'd recommend them, but from what grayaccord says the basics are pretty good. If you don't car about adjusting the dampening then I'd say get the Basics. If you like all the extras get the SS.

well considering the basics are full coilovers and the eibachs are just springs, I'd say the Teins. I guess it depends on what strut you are going to use. The one thing that's nice about full coilovers is the strut and spring are designed to work as one unlike mixing and matching up different spring and strut combos. You won't get a bouncy ride with full coilovers...no coilover sleeves are a different story.

Thats the reason im going with coilovers, yeah there more money, but they are built to work together, at the ride height that they give...so no warenty voids cuz ur car is to low or crap like that, and hopfulyl less shock blowouts from ur car bein to low
