The Koni install is messy with all the hacking, unless they have full replaceable front struts. Plus the Koni and Ground control setup is very expensive, which is near the price of Tein Basics.

My only big is that the Tein Basics and B+G are at about the same price as True Honda stated. I dunno if I would ever need all that rebound and dampning control for just street driving. I wouldn't want to end up making my shocks too soft and causing them to bottom out.

tein ss ride better.......... i think he said that B&G's are bouncy. I forget..........pm him

Woah, that's good hand on experience. Thanks for the info. Any others with similar experience like going from Koni/spring setup to full spec coilover?

I've been reading up on these alot tonight, both the V1 and V2 kits here on the forum, and I have to say, I've seen a lot of bad reviews, and a lot of complaints. I think I might focus my money first on wheels and tires and the Aero Kit, then make a decision on what to get suspension wise after I get all of that straightened out. I've just heard too much bad stuff now to be able to make the choice on the Hayame kit...thanks

Dave.

I had Tein ss for while on my coupe.
I loved them.

If you can get Tein basic under $800. that's heck of a deal.
I've seen it go that low.
