Beginner Forum Rules - EVERYBODY read! (old and new members alike!)
Beginners start here. Once you have 30 worthwhile posts (off topic doesn't count) you may post outside of the Beginner forums. Any "whoring" (posting simply to raise your post count) will return your count to 0, or result in a ban.
These are the rules. Read them. Live by them.
1) Absolutely NO flaming! "Flaming" is an outright attack on a member. ALL questions are encouraged to be asked here, no matter how basic. Members with over 30 posts will be subject to a ONE WEEK ban if caught flaming in this forum (and yes, moderators can read deleted posts). Members with under 30 posts will be subject to a ONE DAY ban.
2) Use appropriate language. Racial or sexual slurs will not be tolerated. A ban will be issued at the discretion of the cb7tuner.com staff.
3) No items may be sold in the Beginner forums. Any "for sale" threads will be deleted.
4) Temporarily banned members will be PERMANTLY banned if they are found posting on another account.
The rules can and will be added to. Any updates will be marked in the title.
The rules for the overall forum can be found here:

Dont they cost the same as all the others, why these in particular?
For the 1000000th time, if you care about handling + ride quality at all, Koni shocks and any kind of drop springs, or GC coils.

Blackworks tends to get grouped in with all the other "knockoff" setups. I don't know how true it is, and what it's a copy of... or if it's just a cheaply made generic setup. I haven't heard anything particularly bad (at least not for our cars... I think VW guys have had bad experiences), but as I said... there are better options.
Koni Yellows and good springs or Ground Control sleeves, as mentioned, are always a good option. Tein Basic is a good street setup.

Just to shed some light on the Teins. I was looking into them before I got my F&F (actually, really had my heart set on them). I wanted to get the Tein Basics, and came to realize after tons of searching, they no longer make the Basics. They've been discontinued. However, they have been replaced with their new line called the Basis which is on the same order. Around the time when I needed my suspension done, the Basis wasn't ready to be purchased for our cars. Hence why I'm on F&Fs.Last edited by Straight Success; 02-05-2012, 08:23 PM.The Lord watches over me!

Yes.
Everywhere I called or tried to place an order through told me that. East and West coast, including Weaksauce.
Originally posted by Straight Success View PostSo, after being enlightened by every distributor that I contacted about them being out of the Tein Basics, I just said **** it. I ordered a set of F&F Type Ones from weaksauce.com (Weksos) to hold me over. Hopefully they aren't too harsh. We'll see!
Of course an extensive review will be done riding around with track inspired coilovers on Philadelphia streets.The Lord watches over me!

I was actually looking at the tein basis coilovers. They are like $665 on andy's. Im still pricing but it seems like i would end up spending about $600 without shipping for koni yellows and tein s techs. So what would be better? Cuz I would be willing to spend a little more for tein coilovers if the basis are worth it.

Boils down to preference, really! Go shopping for reviews, and read different people's experiences. I've heard that the Basis are just like the Basics, so...
Reviews
EDIT: I forgot to mention. It has been a common consensus on here that Andy's isn't a reputable place we recommend that you buy from; well, I'm not speaking for the board of course. Just my $0.02.Last edited by Straight Success; 02-05-2012, 08:55 PM.The Lord watches over me!

Ok I was only looking to drop down like 2 inches. I assume the tein basis coilovers would ride better than mixing and matching koni shocks with tein springs.

I'm honestly not sure as I've never been on Konis or Tein springs.
I can only speak for F&F Type I 'cause that's what's currently on my car. I've read tons of good things about both Tein coilovers and Koni shocks. I'm sure that the Tein springs are of good quality as well, and the Konis should be able to handle the drop of a Tein spring.
Again, I'm just going off of what I've read from many members.The Lord watches over me!
