Tein Basic or SS

Well i'm getting ready to purchase either the basics or the SS coilovers from Tein. Well people have told me they don't go low. Well my question is, how low can i expect to go with either on of these? I have 18's with 215/35/18 tires.

basic will go same height as SS. Not sure exactly how low they'll go, but they go plenty low enough for me, and I could go alot more. Right now im lowered about 1.75. I know I could go at least another inch.

sweet, im lowered on neuspeed race springs w/ stock shocks, i figured tein ss would be great since it can go as low as race, and has dampening as well. i went w/ ss cause i hear basics ride stiff when slammed, so thats where adjustability is vital. Im gonna have my car for a long time, so i figured a really good suspension setup is a better investment

The roads here are nice where i live. So basics won't be bad for me. I'm either gonna get the basics or ss. The SS i would get come with the Upper Pillow Ball Mounts, but the basics don't. On Teins website it says 2.7" F and 3.8" R.

yea thats a good drop, race is 2.5 front, 2.25 rear, sport i believe is 1.75 front 1.5 rear, and dont forget the springs on the teins could settle lower
