I installed this on

Review
First off, these coilovers impressed me with how sporty it felt. My ride was super predictable when cornering and u-turning and there's no more body roll. However, there is a lot more bounce now as I can feel a lot of bumps in the road. But it's a tradeoff I'm fine with making as my car handles amazingly right now.
What I like
Sporty ride.
A lot of drop
Improved handling
What I do not like
A lot of bounce

Review
I had it installed with a 1.25" gap in ghd front and the back. I enjoyed this set up. I would say that TEIN Type Basic is suitable for people that looking for sportier feel and wouldn't mind a little more bounce. I would not recommend to people that have kids and want to keep a stock ride feeling. I'm in love with the handling. My car feels completely different in terms of handling! The boat ride like feeling is gone and as well as the "delay" in response is gone. It allows me to change lanes quickly and make tight sharp turns more effectively. The feel of your calling falling off the road is now gone. It's definitely a great investment for me!
What I like
The handling is really fantastic.
What I do not like
The overall increase in the "bounce".
