My friend is selling them to me for $600. I need your advices!! good deal? How do tein basics feel? Smooth? Show me some pics if youre riding on some tein basic coilovers please! thanks. sp0t 08-20-2007, 08:13 AM does your friend still have the basics on his car? if he does, then ask him the questions.. i used to have basics but it was too harsh for me so i switched back to my s-techs.. im gonna get me some b&g coilovers. tweak666 08-20-2007, 03:04 PM the basics are a little on the stiff side. i like the basics, but i like a stiff ride, function>comfort. its not gonna jar the fillings out of your teeth, though. i'll see if i can find a pic DevilTC 08-23-2007, 04:06 PM $600 is a good price as long as they don't have a ton of miles on them. The Basic Coilovers retail for around $730 or so. The ride is just a bit on the stiff side but still comfortable. I recently took a road trip that was 520 miles round trip and felt fine after driving for about 3.5 hours. tC on Tein basic coilovers, lowest height setting. http://scionpix.com/gallery2/gallery/download/1562-2/tC-1.jpg (http://scionpix.com/gallery/show/DevilTC/tC-1.jpg.html) http://scionpix.com/gallery2/gallery/download/1565-2/tC+in+shop.jpg (http://scionpix.com/gallery/show/DevilTC/tC+in+shop.jpg.html) http://scionpix.com/gallery2/gallery/download/1578-2/IMAGE_367.jpg (http://scionpix.com/gallery/show/DevilTC/IMAGE_367.jpg.html) tC9o9 08-23-2007, 07:33 PM you will not like them john, they are too harsh. tCeeJay 08-23-2007, 07:51 PM http://memimage.cardomain.net/member_images/8/web/2648000-2648999/2648279_20_full.jpg http://memimage.cardomain.net/member_images/8/web/2648000-2648999/2648279_22_full.jpg http://memimage.cardomain.net/member_images/8/web/2648000-2648999/2648279_21_full.jpg On a scale from 1 to 10 (10 being stiff, 1 being soft) I would rate them at 6.5. The stiffness doesn't bother me. tCeeJay 08-23-2007, 07:57 PM That was before alignment and camber kits Scion626Blk 08-24-2007, 08:38 PM he's selling me brand new tein basic coilovers to me for 600 dollars. He knows a dealer or some crap. He doesnt have a tc but a honda accord coupe 05. i asked him for his opinion and how dhe likes the springs. He said it isnt too harsh tCeeJay 08-24-2007, 08:44 PM :cry: I wish I paid $600 for mine |
