May want to upgrade your end links too.

 

Good point. I was going to take a look at those when I swap out the sways and bushings in the spring.

 

Well, I ordered the Tein basis coilovers yesterday with a bunch of other parts so I will add some pics to my build thread when I get them installed- next week maybe? I am assuming this will be a pretty straight forward install. Any tips or things I should be aware of? Thanks!

 

Might shoot a PM to xpcgamer , Slade, or HoldMyMouse for any specifics, also Rochester for the rears.

 

PB Blaster and an impact wrench always help.

 

Those are my two favorite suspension tools. Well those and a BFH!

 

Installed the Tein Basis coilovers last night after work. Easy installation and ride great on just about every type of road. More info. on my build page #4

And the tein basis are made in Japan, correct? If so they're a great value.

 

Yes they are
Oh, and 4D, you have the pics reversed, the fronts are on top

 

It says that on the website, but I was looking for confirmation based on the packaging. It wouldn't be the first time a website had inaccurate information.

The price is ridiculously cheap for Japanese made springs and shocks.

 

Good catch. Fixed it. I knew I was tired today, but not that tired.

Ridiculously cheap for Teins for sure. Even more surprising is a set Japanese coilovers that don't shake the fillings out of your head every time you even think about going over a bump.

 

Although I'd certainly be looking at the Basis option for the prices people have been able to get these at (probably even less on black friday/cyber monday).. I thought I'd snap a few examples of how Koni w Swifts setup sits. I've been using this suspension setup for over a year now, daily driven and sees the winter.. Happy as can be with it. I have no need to go lower.

 

Awesome look! Those GTR shoes are a perfect fit there too, well done.

 

That looks great Krazyfiend! But please don't tempt me with that sweet green Montecarlo with the bright red door in the background

 

Hahaha, thanks.Tis life in the parking lot of Sam's Club (best price on a few disposables so I relent to going there every few months and betray my Costco addiction).
