I paid $890 shipped but I think some other people posted that they got it cheaper locally.

If you don't want to see it, you don't have to. Some people wanted to see pics of them up close so I posted them. I was excited about getting them so I decided to throw these up for anyone interested.

I was just wondering...... I have an 02 civic sedan and I am looking at getting the Tein Basic's. Will they be fine on my civic?, and do think I'll need a camber kit if I do about 1.8-2.0 inch drop?????

1.8 what?? as in drop or what are you referring to?? I have the Tein SS and I have a 2 finger gap in the front and the back. The fronts are as low as they go and the backs are almost there. But it is an even 2 fingers all the way around

damn ! add a 100 bux to that and you could've gotten yourself a Tein SS. I bought my SS for 990

I'm guessing that its the ability to adjust the dampening force.

Honestly I didn't even want the SS, not even for $50 more. I would never adjust the dampening because I won't have any need to. Anything is better than what I have now and I was just waiting for the basics to be released. I don't find it worth it to pay extra for something I don't need. That's why they make the basics, for people like me.
