Tein Basic Coilovers

blingin' civic · Post by **blingin' civic** » February 19, 2004

I was thinking about getting these for my 00 Si. Anyone have any experience with these or know anything about them? I was just going to get some adjustable shocks to go along with my springs, but i realized for $150 more i could get the Tein full coilovers. Is it worth it over just getting springs and shocks?

Any info would be cool.

In my opinion, it would be worth getting the TEINs over a lowering spring/ adj. shock combo. You would be trading ride-height adjustability for shock adjustability though.

true, and for not much more then the TEIN basic he could get TEIN SS which has the damper adjustability......i would say save a little more and get TEIN SS

agreed. if you can save up the $650 for some basics, why not save up another $200 and get damper adjustability?

save. it will be worth the wait. i personally think tein is overpriced now because of the blang and jdmness of them. they are a great product. but i personally want buddyclubs.

thanks for the info guys. So the basics only have height adjustability and no shock adjustability ?? If so, that does kind of suck. I really didnt want to spend any more than $700 so maybe i should just get some adjustable shocks and call it a day. I just saw the Tein basics and thought it was an affordable price, but didnt realized the shocks werent adjustable. I am already lowered on H&R springs right now so we'll see.

Shock adjustability is overrated. It should be used to fine tune an already competent setup.
