TEIN Street Basis questions

[cuzin]

Hi all. I am planning on purchasing coilovers within the next few days and I'm stuck between Ksport or TEIN. I mainly have questions about the quality. If anyone has any experience with either please do chime in! It would be for daily driving with of course some spirited drives here and there. Thank you all in advance. Btw I did try searching and couldn't find anything.

Either one should be okay based on what you want to do with them. How low are you planning on dropping the car?

 

[cuzin]

Not too low. Just enough to eliminate wheel gap

 

[Dar-Dar]

You should still be okay with either one. The drop you're looking for will more likely be around 1.4"-1.5".

not seen a single complaint on either brand

The only thing holding me back from tein is that I have to go through the trouble of taking the top hat off the stock ones. :p

You'd need a "Go Through" socket set in order to feed the allen key to the stud.

I don't want to deal with that. I might just get the Ksports

did you end up installing the K-Sports? For the price difference i feel like the TEIN is the better bet. swapping the top hats is pretty straight forward and worth the $200 IMO. also the TEIN is twin tube which I think is better for daily use. this link helps explain the difference
