I would wait MIT. The MSRP on that thing is like $950. That is so close the price of the Tein SS. Espeically when all the other tein basics are going for like $760. Hopefully it will go down in price, but for $950 i don't think it is worth it.

Well someone needs to get the basics and let us know how they ride and if its worth the extra money for the adjustables because some people just might want a drop and a smooth ride.

It is not height adjustable like coilovers are. They are matched springs and shocks. The shocks are shorter to be matched with the springs.
same here, just wanna lower look with little sporty ride~ cuz tein ss cost like 1050, but that is not included installation yet, which around 80~120. For tein basic, cost like 850, then still got some $ to paid for installation, or DIY.
I just dont feel right to spend more than a grand on suspension....u know, I save up for something ~ car is just a toy~
