I got a good question.. why are the Tein Basics so cheap.. You can get them for $715 from a ScionLife membership discount... What is the difference if you were to get either H&R/Tein H-Tech springs with Koni struts, as compared to Tein Basics... You're almost spending $400 more on the spring/strut setup and I'm just a bit curious because a lot of my WRX friends are wondering how coilovers could be so cheap unless they are not as good as Tein's usual hardware? Any ideas anyone?

koni shocks are adjustable rebound, tein basics are only height adjustable.

how stiff is the lowest setting? softer than stock? where abouts is it roughly equivalent to stock (give full range and how far to go, like 'it goes x turns, and stock is about x turns'). thanks!

i have no idea were stock is man all i know is i had mine adjusted so the front is a half turn more than they came in the box and my rears are a full turn stiffer, the fronts feel perfect and tight but the rear still feels too loose. so instead of getting the rears re adjusted im planing on just geting a progress rear sway bar
