It really depends on what your looking for. Pure looks? Improved cornering? bang for the buck? Whats your budget? If your looking for performance..I would go with the SS. I have not ridden in a car with B&G but I have hear good things about them. I have ridden in a car with tein basics and the ride was decent. Stiffer than stock but not too bad. I don't know how it would feel after many miles though..stiff suspension can get old real quick if you just ride around and cruise. Hope this helps.

Im wondering the same thing. I have a sedan and Im debating which to get, tein basic or b&g? Im not gonna be lowering it that much, maybe 1.5-.7 max. Im concerned about the ride quality. My current shocks are really bouncy, and its annoying how every little bump/pothole I hit, my car goes up and down like crazy. I can get both for the same price, so pricing isnt really a issue. Im not going with the SS simply because I cant afford it, so any advice on which I should get? I herd tein is decent, but it has potential of rusting over time. I havnt really heard much from b&g. Any advice would be great.

tein basic is 890 shipped
b&g is 889 shipped

and that is the absolutly cheapest price I can find the basic & b&g's for.

EDIT: BTW, how is the ride with the B&G's?

YUP go with the TEIN SS's. I wish i got the SS's rather than the basics.
