Am I the only one that will be using this? or are there people out there that have this setup? Maybe I'll be the one to do the review this time.

well, if you have another $500 to put on suspension on top of the $750 then go for it. i've had my eyes set on the basic kit for about 4 months now, but my job at the time sucked to afford them. if i can get money together, i should have them in the next 2-3 months. after May(graduation), i will have ahouse to pay for, so things for the g will be hard to come by. i'd like to have a motor finished my the time i graduate and the damper kit and my new wheels/tires.

on the BAsic model, you can't adjust dampening, just height

getting them would be completely worthless seeing as how we have really bad roads. track suspension on city streets is like off roading with a steam roller

I agree, over $1000 on suspension was too much so i got the basic Tein setup. My ride already sucks with 19's so I figured it wouldn't be too much worse. It isn't that much worse, plus I plan on raising it once I get my front lip on which should improve a bit. Its probably a better setup than the KYB-GC one, but obviously not as good as the SS-P which is about $1500 compared to $750 which I got mine for. I was aiming for more adjustability than ride quality cuz like I said, it already sucked and I think I accomplished that. Its a good setup.
