rlee, how's your ride with the basics? i'm kinda thinking also i should have went with the SS's because of the option of tweaking the shock ride.

Mercedes is gone physically, but still in my heart.
No money, yet so, damn, tempting. Ugh

Are the SS being adjustable, going to perhaps ride a little better,
if set to a softer setting?
How do you adjust them?
Do they have to be removed to adjust them?

Yes, I am definately interested. CO's are on the top of my list.

Vogtlands with stock shocks have been OK, but the shocks are shot.
And the ride is a little harsh. But compared to what?

Could be due to the height adjustablilty given with the Basics.

oic. see i dont think ill need height adjusting. i never pile my car down and from what i hear the cup kit is pretty decent. We shall see though. I've seen many people have either Cup Kit but seen just as many Tein Basics.

Agreed. H&R Cup kit was not low enough for me, so I ditched it for the TEIN Basics. An added bonus was that the ride quality is much better.

quick question

For all you Tein Coilovers owners out there, does the suspension make any noise (clinking) when going over bumps/uneven pavements? I have a 02 coupe with Basics.

Blake, did you need spacers on the wheels?
Darwin says I won't need them, unless I'm slamming.

James,
sorry but I'm going with someone closer to home who can do the install!
Thanks anyway.
I'm really looking forward to getting the SS's.
Click click! I'm ready for a smooth trip down 5.
Click click! I'm ready for a day at the track!
Woo Hoo. This is gonna rock.

it depends on how much u r going to drop.
blake's front is slightly higher than mine which is enuf to clear without spacers... ur wheel offset and tire brand will also affect a little...

if u don't want to use spacers, lower it to a point where u don't need spacers...
