Coilover Suggestions 13 Sedan RWD

Please feel free to flame me for posting a question I'm sure gets asked a lot, I just couldnt seem to find a clear answer. Just follow up flame with some help ;-)
In searching I saw people suggest for a comfortable ride, Tein Basis, but unless I am mistaken they do not make them for Sedans?
I am putting in Eibach sways at same time as coilovers, with the goal of having a firm and planted, but not harsh ride.
Any suggestions for coilovers for a sedan? Not looking to break my bank either.
Also, any other components suggested to install with coils to help with aligning?
Thanks!!

Tein Basis is for sure made for the sedans, as I have them lol. Best bang for your buck, I've had them on since last December and have had zero issues. Ride quality is no different from OEM as far as I could tell even now not much has changed in quality so many miles later, riding at suggested heights of forum members. As far as alignment goes, for sure get the front camber kit its expensive but itll save your tires for sure. I still have no kit in the rear but haven't had much issues. PM me for more info if you want.

I would disagree a bit and suggest a camber and toe kit is more needed in the rear than a camber kit is in the front. If you intend on going very low I would suggest kits front and rear.

Thanks for reply!
Im so confused, what year is your sedan? When I go to Tein web-site, and do a search for products for my car, no coilovers come up.

The coupe kit will fit the sedan. I believe it will be a bit low in the rear, but otherwise it fits.

Here's a build thread from another member showing them on a sedan:

It happens with several brands of coilovers, maybe they just don't want to see our sedans lowered

There are a LOT of coil-over choices out there. Probably half of them have not been acquired by anyone on the board. Check out RWD coil-over redux sticky.

I called Tein up, and they said that because they never tested them on sedans that can not say they will fit, even if many other people have used them on sedans.

Almost all our coil-overs are designed for the 370Z. They will physically fit both the coupe and sedan but may not be a proper fit. KW single-adjustables, for example, (there's a set for sale in the classifieds) fit the Z perfectly. G coupe owners have issues with the rear sitting lower than desired. KW sells a spring seat insert to lift the rear but they will void the damper warranty. The sedan has an even worse problem in this regard.
