Thoughts on the $500 Tein Street Basis Coilovers?

1st · 12-28-2017, 05:25 PM

I do not have Tien coil overs but would like to say if you can get springs, shocks and or coil overs with front and rear upgraded sway bars do it. One of the best mods I did on the Z. Night and day difference, the Z feels top heavy stock on corners after the suspension mods the car handles like it should.

Even the sways too? Looking at the stock bars, they're not wimpy, beefy for stock bars at least. Especially compared to my friends S13 stock sways and my old E46 330 bars. What coils and bars do you have?

I have the eibach pro kit springs with the eibach front and rear sways.

Sway bars are absolutely the single best bang-for-the-buck purchase you can make on these cars. Order them yesterday.

I didn't think there was a difference in suspensions between base and sport. Is there now?

IDK for sure, I guess I've always *assumed* there was...

According to the Nissan parts DB there is no difference in sway bars between base and sport.. Nismo is different, however.

The number of people on this forum that have changed sway bars is large. And they all said that it was one of the best changes they made.
