Default Tein Basics

I know this has been talked about probably years before I got here but I'm going to start a new thread anyways...

I want to get coil-overs that will drop my box as lowww as it will go and still have decent ride quality. No racing, just for looks. Does anybody have pictures of their xB's with Tein basic coil overs with 15" wheels... Or even 20" wheels, just anything to give me an idea of what kind of drop I can get with the Tein Basics. Thanks for all the help ahead of time. I'm not much for mechanics so all pictures would help me more than descriptions. Thanks again.

I would go with either Tein, HKS or JIC they will all give you a great drop and good ride.. If you need pricing let me know..

If you're not going to be racing, why waste your money on coilovers? Just get springs.

^ More than likely the same reason I'll be buying them.. Lowest springs drop you 2.5", I want LOWER without the day-to-day struggle with owning bags.

Bags are fun, but there is a decent amount of maintenance with them. I was bagged for over a year and then hated dealing with it. But, each to their own.

I will be getting coilovers soon I hope.
