So i have officially been riding on my Tein basic coilovers for 2 weeks now.

pros:
perfect spring rate vs. dampering match
pretty much no bounce or over stiffness
comes with bumpstops, dust covers etc.
as a daily driver-its great, aggressive look, way better that stock handling

cons:
if you want sick race suspension don't buy these
u can consider them excellent daily driver coilovers or below par race coilovers
h&r race w/ koni yellows are far superior

*basically it all depends on wut your looking for. u could probably buy the h&r race w/ koni for around the same price but the ride will be very harsh. i hate driving around town with a sore back and watching for bumps and cracks 2 feet in front of me.

note: i think peeps need to be more honest with there setups. just cuz u dropped cash on crappy suspension doesn't mean u have to lie and say its super dope!

I was looking to upgrading to those next year or something, I'm not liking the Tokico that much.

many will say the set up is all good.. because we or most of use dont knoe what is really the best.. cuz i mean.. we all had stock rite.. so we drop our ride.. its gonna be like fawk.. this shiz is awesome.. and it will be for a while till u get use to it and figure out that this and that could be better..

for sure i heard lots of good reviews for koni yellows .. but matching it with H&R racing will drop the ride alot.. if u have larger rimz then stock...


bout whats his name that said something liek removing ur wheel walls is like remving ur windows when dirty.. and fix ur suspension or do it twice shiz... its not his fault.. cuz the springs and shocks are made for stock wheels.. and they dont count on u using aftermarket rimz.. (larger ones) ... imo

word man, my 225/40/18s rubbed like crazy and I had less then 1/2" of clearance between the car and the tires. So when I hit bump or uneven road, well you know what happened and I feel I dont have to explain the rest....
