Tein Street Basis

How are these for just DD. Not really tracking the car or anything. Just want to lower the car. Hows the ride quality, is it decent?

You can't go wrong with Tein coils. Great coils. For the price of Tein Street Basis, for several dollars more you can buy coils that can get you moar low and have damping.

IMO, Yes. Damping benefits for any driving conditions and situations. Gives you the adjustability for daily driving, back-roading, auto-cross, etc.

If you have a friend that run coils with damping. I'll suggest taking a ride and see for yourself.

At the end of the day, you got to do what fits your budget...
