What else would you need to buy?

Because Ksports come with everything all you do is remove the old strut/shock and install the new one. Would it be the same case here? Do you need a upper strut mounts? or do they come with it?
How low can you go with these. I am looking for a 1 finger to a 1.5 finger gap. I want something reliable, with low maintenance.

I know everyone is going with Ksports because of the camber plates that are built in, but I have heard some bad things about them, I am just curious about these. I also hear that these are a lot more comfortable compared to the Ksports.

Thanks

 

Tein Basics do not come with upper strut mounts. You can re-use your stock mounts or buy new OEM mounts. That 1 finger gap is going to be about a 2.5-3 inch drop which is pretty low. You will lose travel and have some bumpsteer issues at this height (anywhere from 1 finger to tucking).

 

Ok, If I were to get them, what parts would I need from the dealership?, and do I need them for all 4 struts/shocks, or just for the fronts??

 

to the top!

 

Just fronts.

I'd get new front mount brackets, isolators, gaskets and strut bearings.

 

i've heard alot of bad things about k-sport coil overs from the mx-6 forums and VW guys and i was wondering if tein basics were any better otherwise i'll wait it out and buy JIC's or Boss chen's

 

i also bought a camber kit before i had mine installed. i felt like i was driving a brand new car the first day they were on. it still handles very well. my front bumper sits about 4.5 inches off the floor. no clearance issues whatsoever

 

here is a pic of my drop with the basics in the front. the gap is a little less than 2 fingers.

 

are those tein S-techs??? what struts r u runniong on? So do u get any rubbing with 5 passengers in the car?

Also, i heard something teins running on bumpstops, whatever that means...

 

He said Basics. That means Tein Basic coilovers, not S-Tech springs.

 

no there is no rubbing at all when i have 5 ppl in the car. its also really comfortable on long trips. i been to miami and back a few times and everyone was quite suprised with how smooth the ride was running on 235/35/r20 tires.
