Are Tein Basis worth it?

Are Tein Basis worth it?
Hey Guys,
I'm looking to upgrade a few suspension components in the coming months. I was thinking to first get coilovers then move to camber arms and sway bars. I read a couple reviews on the Tein Basis coilovers but am still hesitant about their performance. Will they perform better than stock spring/shock setup around corners? I go on spirited drives through the canyons about twice a week so I would like to get something that's performance oriented. Any input on this is appreciated.
Thanks!

I bought the tein basis on my g37 recently. Its a little stiffer than the normal suspension but, just like anything you get used to it after a while. Here's a picture installed. I think the rear is the max drop already, the fronts can go lower. My wheels specs are 245/35/19 fronts and 265/30 rears.

My fronts needed to be aligned, the rears we're perfect. And no I'm not running any camber kits. I bought these wheels used and it had camber wear from the previous owner. I switched the tires outside in. Looks like camber to me.

I just don't want to put these on and then blow throw 600 dollars for rear tires 2 months after I put them on.

I wouldn't consider coilovers without at least that rear setup.

If you want to keep your tires wearing well and not spend much get the rear 4 bolt camber/toe kits, it's about $50 for 2 kits if you DIY the install. Your fronts should wear ok (at least better than the rears) without the arms.

I'm hoping to do Tokico Blues and Eibach springs all around since people seem to get away with a decent alignment without the camber bolts.
I may just do the bolts regardless. I'm trying to not spend an extra 600 on new A arms up front and camber arms in back if I don't have to.
I only drive the car less than 500 miles a month and only when the weather is nice since it's my second car so tire ware isn't a HUGE concern for me but its there.

Thats what I was looking for. My front passenger strut is leaking so I need to replace it.
