I would mainly use them for just daily driving, but I also want something that will handle nise if there are any curvy roads and whatnot that I MIGHT wanna take. I do wanna lower a LITTLE bit, as in just enough so my fender well is at the top of my tire.(No tucking) I would like to stick with teins as they are easily available to me and would like to keep a full coilover setup.
My options are:
Tein Basic
Tein Superstreet
Tein Flex
All of you that have expierence with this stuff (boilermaker, zzyxx(sp?)) please help me out.
Thanks

Street driving... basics are fine. If you want to fine tune the handling a little more then the SS, you definitely don't need the flex.

Alright, the Flex are now out of the question, but is it worth having adjustable dampners? Like will it make the ride any better? I want goood handling with a somewhat ok ride.

Teins adjust both bump and rebound (At the same time) this is a good function on the street, as Bump has more to do with ride quality, and Rebound has more to do with handling (Stiffer is not allways better). for absolute best handling.... I would rather just beable to adjust rebound (or both rebound and bump seperatly) then be forced to ajust both at the same time. Its a handy feature to have for the street, but not exactly the optimum setup for Track use.
For you... well you could set them "soft" and have a nice comfortable ride, and on those weekend mt Trips, you could adjust them to give you a bit better handling (REMEMBER!!! Stiffer is not allways better!!!)
