Tein Basic Coilovers??

Does anyone have these yet or does anyone have a review to if they are worth the money or not?

A few dealers over here are starting to carry them. They are a good brand, good quality and low cost. Targeted for guys who want a quality drop with a pre optimized dampening that is fixed. So there is no adjusting the strut dampening force. Only thing you can play with is the ride height.

This kit also reuses some OE hardware in its application.

It is a basic coil over. backed by a 1 year warrenty.

i just find it ironic that the HIGHEST setting is as low as their STech ... it would be good if i can set them -1.0 in all around..

edit:
nvm ..
Front Rear
Spring Rate (kgf-mm/lbs-in) 6/336 5/280
Ride Height Drop (in.) -2.2 -1.8
Min Ride Height Adjustment Range (in.) -1.8 -0.8
Max Ride Height Adjustment Range (in.) -3 -2.7
Upper Mount Type OEM OEM
Individual Spring Part Number SY060-01225 SY050-01225

not exactly the same .. but i would prefer -1.2 like Eibach springs

The Teins basic coils go for $1k, for the exact same price you can get the BC Racing Coilovers, they are a great bang for the buck coilover and have a great replacement price (after the 1 year warranty). The BC ones have top camber plates included,
pillowball mounts at all 4 corners, height adjustment, and 30 way rebound dampening. The Teins are only height adjustable for the same price. You are basically only paying for the Tein name and some green paint. Just my $0.02
