I've heard that the basics aren't worth the money you pay. Never seen them myself, so I'm not sure how they are. If you are just looking to lower the car... maybe go for a nice lowering spring/strut combination.

i was just wondering, flex is my first choice, but i thought basics will still be okay. Do you think 1300 for flex is a good price? im not really even sure how much the retail goes for. Ive seen several different prices, i havnt seen any used flex's for sale, but if the price sounds good i will get it. I am on Eibach pro kits, but i still have a good gap. I would like to lower it more thats the only problem with my eibachs.

i say somewhere between 900-1200 is decent price depending on condition use or new..

The flex is great because of the casing adjustablity, I use the Tien Flex super drift spec set on my company car and its great.
Keep the spring load tension and slam the car to the ground is the best. plus the valving on the Teins are valved for daily driver use then a slight adjustment on the edfc and added tension on the spring rate you're ready to go to the track.
Save you money about the suspension and don't be cheap about it because you get what you pay for.
