FOR THE LOWEST and MOST COMFORTABLE DAILY Street Driving and the occasionally DIPPIN-on-idiots NOT Autocrossing or Drag. Thanks!

*ksports have dampener adjusting AND perch height adjustment so no dampening/shock stroke is lost

+1 for TEIN

TEIN is well known and respected throughout the industry. They are one of the top manufacturers of suspension parts, more specifically, coilovers.

Yup! I'm with Generic! My brother has Tein adjustables and he loves them! How much do you think they'll be once they're released?

Neither has adjustable damping. So I would say both are pretty harsh on your kidneys for every day driving....but I guess that depends on your roads. I haven't seen a good road for ages.

Our roads in Hawaii are so poorly made, that I think even warzones in the middle east have better roads.

Tein basic has adjustable height, but not adjustable damping.

Tein super street has both.

Also with suspension and handling.. did any company make any sway bars for the car or strut bars or anything to help handle besides a drop?

Tein are way overpriced for quality that isn't much better if at all. Not worth the extra money.
