Street Basis Z Series:
The Street Basis Z represents Tein's popular entry-level coilover line, designed specifically for street use. The series provides excellent value by offering height adjustability and improved handling at an accessible price point. The pre-set damping is optimized for comfortable daily driving while still providing noticeable handling improvements over factory suspension. Street Basis Z is ideal for enthusiasts seeking better handling and lowered stance without compromising street comfort.
Reuses OEM Top Mounts:
This kit requires reusing your factory top mounts (also called upper mounts or strut mounts). The OEM top mounts are transferred from your factory suspension to the Tein coilovers during installation. Before installation, inspect your OEM top mounts for wear, cracks, or deterioration. If your top mounts are worn, consider replacing them with new OEM or aftermarket units before installing the coilovers. Worn top mounts can cause noise, poor handling, and premature coilover wear.
Height Adjustable Design:
The full-length adjustable design allows you to dial in your perfect ride height. The adjustment range of approximately 1.0-2.5 inches provides flexibility to achieve your desired stance while maintaining proper suspension geometry. Height adjustment is made via threaded lower brackets, allowing precise tuning. The ability to adjust height independently at each corner allows for perfect stance and proper corner balancing.
Twin-Tube Damper Construction:
The twin-tube damper design provides comfortable street performance with good handling characteristics. Twin-tube dampers are known for their smooth operation and comfortable ride quality, making them ideal for daily driven vehicles. The construction is durable and reliable, ensuring long service life even with daily use. Tein's engineering ensures the dampers provide consistent performance across the adjustment range.
Pre-Set Damping Optimized for Street:
The damping is pre-set and optimized for street use, eliminating the need for damping adjustment while ensuring comfortable performance. Tein's engineers have calibrated the damping to provide the best balance of handling and comfort for street driving. This simplifies setup and ensures optimal performance without requiring extensive tuning knowledge. The pre-set damping works well across the height adjustment range.
Improved Handling:
The Tein coilovers provide significantly improved handling compared to factory suspension. Reduced body roll, better turn-in response, and improved cornering grip are immediately noticeable. The lower center of gravity from the reduced ride height further enhances handling. The improved suspension control allows you to carry more speed through corners with greater confidence.
