Default Anyone running tein basics/street basis?

I'm debating between this or TRD spring setup. not looking to go very low, just a touch more than TRD. I want to feel how bumpy it is because the spring rates are way higher on the tein's.

I'm not crazy about any of tein's springs. The spring rates are too low for the amount of drop. The trd/eibach have a modest drop, but bump up the rates a bit to compensate. Tein coilovers on the other hand are nice and stiff. I just want to see if they are too hard for NY and NJ streets.

I would go with TRDs if I were you. Pretty much any coil is going to give you a harsher ride. I have driven on stechs, htechs, hotchkis and trd on the island and TRD is the only spring I would ever go with now.

That's what I'm leaning towards, but I can tolerate a fairly harsh ride. I just have no way of knowing weather the tein coils have crossed that boundary.

i have the stechs and they are perfect for me exactly what i need in the front but the back could have been dropped a litle more in my opinion
