Verdict on Tein Basis Z coilovers
#17
So all in all I realize that getting the Tein Basis Z is basically no different than getting any sort of spring setup with the height adjustment being the only benefit. No dampening adjustments and you still need to get a camber kit (if done properly). With the coilovers and camber kit (front and rear) you are still around $1k..... are there any other options to be able to find a decent set of coilovers that possibly come with a camber kit and dampening option for that same price?
The Tein coils as far as getting the best value, would be the way to go. If you really want to drop on a budget get springs, and mild ones like Swift and sometimes Eibach you can get by w/ just a rear camber kit. You'll be out of spec w/ no rear kit but sometimes can get reasonable wear without one. I wouldn't recommend it though.

No coilovers come w/ camber kits, some will say "camber plates included" but this is just for their overall coilover lineup, the G isn't set up that way.*******

Thanks for the info.....I feel like if I were going just for the drop I'd get springs. Unfortunately last night I purchased them online while drunk and didn't realize there was no dampening option. Would an adjustable camber kit help out with dampening? Also, I still have the option to cancel the sale.

A camber kit just allows you to correct the suspension geometry. It has nothing to do with the damping. This is controlled solely by the shock itself. The Tein Flex Z has adjustable damping (and comes with upper mounts) for only a few more bills.
Also, for the record "dampening" means to make something wet

Thanks for the info. I will definitely be doing both F&R camber. Kinda going buck wild right now, as I only expected the initial $500 spend (which magically turned into well over $1500 after camber kit, install and alignment). Oh well....the things you do for love (my G37!)
