STREET BASIS Z is strictly a ride height adjustable kit. This makes it a perfect setup for the daily driver looking for an increase in handling performance without compromising comfort for everyday use. For many of you considering a lowering spring + performance shock absorber combination, the STREET BASIS Z makes even more sense as we select appropriate spring rates and valve our dampers to match. No guesswork on the end-users part in trying to match one brand of springs to another brand of shock absorbers. The added height adjustment feature allows the end-user the ability to adjust ride height to their preference, something that lowering springs lack. Being that most vehicles are slightly unbalanced from left to right sides, that means you can easily adjust the ride height so that each corner is even from their opposing sides

Dude, EPIC review. You've just made a new customer.
Just put these on about a week ago. I added aftermarket camber plates and radial bearing upper spring plates on the fronts to finish the assembly. Feels so nice. Super easy to build yourself. I need better seats because the turning Gs have increased.
Still valid 1.5 years later; thanks for the heads up and quick spotlight...I think I will check you out... 👍
Thank you so much for this update. Explained the twin tube design very well. I am pulling the trigger on them soon :)
I have been running these for about 2 months on the civic. I combined these with camber plates and Skunk2 and Energy Suspension parts. Absolutely amazing feel. So sharp in the corners. Smooth on the straights. Stiff but not harsh. A huge improvement over stock. Thanks for the review.
I also recommend AMR Engineering radial bearing upper spring seats. I used these to match up the front coilovers to the camber plates.
Thank You for watching!
What civic did you install these on?
I have these and have had problems since. Especially with track rod end and apparently need adjustment lower arms as the tracking is all out. Also since adjusting the height have know acquired a slight twang now and then when turning right or left
TEIN for the win! I have the Mono Flex. Old school made in Japan 1 piece.
I think they might be called Mono Sport now.
Excellent, since first time I seen the brand always wanted to give it a shot, now my oem struts are gone bad -and I am in a budget- so yeah baby tein here I go.
Excellent article. Thanks
I can't wait for you to make a new video ROBERT I ❤you uncle
Just got mine and they will be installed on my 1 owner 2003 Honda Civic ....extremely clean and will be the bad ass civic in the AV.....YEP !!!!
How did u keep shaft from spinning as u install top hats
Great review! im confident i want to buy this exact set up now! lexus is300 here we go
did you end up getting them? I also have a is300 and was wondering how they ride. I've heard it can get bouncy?
brooo its like having a lowrider that how bouncy it is!! haha no jk man i love them they are so sick and they ride perfectly man its just right ive been riding with a 2 inch drop i dig it but im going to go up to 1.5 inch drop or maybe 1.7 inch drop if i can make sure my math is right lol but ima put new tires on and i dont have a camber kit so im going up in height for that reason
@@TheFelt13 how are they holding up now lol
@@Jenseneicher i’ve got Street Advance Z’s (same as basis featured in the video but with dampening adjustment) and they ride quite well, a little stiff on the stiffest adjustment but not too bad, great for my daily is300
@@samw thanks for the reply. I actually ended up getting them for my car, driving it for two years and now have sold it. Great suspension honestly! Thinking of getting them again for my new car
Great video
"Can stroke pretty much twice as fast and the fluid will not foam up" that's what she said.
Very helpful
Any tips on keeping shaft from spinning as u install top hats
Should I get these or the Godspeed Mono-SS?
Is there a preload adjustment on the street basis
So how do you set the preload for these specific street basis? you only showed how to adjust the ride height?
What’s the stiffest spring rates you can run on these shocks would they take a set up of 9-12kg
Just got these, don’t have camber arms for the coils, how much natural camber would these give you without any adjustments?? TIA!
these should fit on a lexus sc300 but i noticed you guys dont have lexus on your Make Chart
They're build in Taiwan... They started manufacturing entry level/street coilovers in 2014/2015
I bought the tein street advance for my is200 and i am having problem with the installation some dont seem right with the fitting where the spring meet the Aluminum spacer and spacer meet the OE mounts. Do the Dust Boots that came with the Tein Coilover go at the back cause the oe fronts mounts have it owne Dust Boots already?
Hi friend
I'm using gecko suspension system on my 2004 Honda stream now it started to bummed on ruff road what can i?
I can't find these even on Teins website. I only see the older model, not the new sealed model coilover.
i already have coilovers on my car but dont have the oem mount would i have to order a new one or us the one on my coilover
So I'm looking at the body of it and don't see a collar to allow the body to thread up and down to actually adjust the height...so I'm assuming the only way to adjust height is to compress the spring....which would jack up the correct preload rates, no?
can i check with you if the Tein Street Basis for the 2007 Honda Accord Euro R ABA-CL7 does it comes with the HID auto-leveling sensor bracket on the front left?
You get all four coil overs correct?
Noob question, theres no camber adjustment on these? Not sure if all coilovers have it or only certain ones.
so the camber and caster are unadjustable on theses?
so did they use china steel vs Japanese steel?
I’ve had the basis z on my Miata now for about 3 years. They are decent and anyone looking to stay within a budget, these are the ones. Use nb top hats if you are installing these on an na.
Nb?
How did u keep shaft from spinning as I install tophats
Where would you buy the strut
How do I adjust camber on those ?
I have the same set thats going to put up on my car next week, woooohhhhh can’t wait
How do you like them?
Updates?
Ak47addict they’re pretty nice just make sure to get the one that has dampening adjuster
Oppai Sama so you didn’t get this exact model (Street Basis Z), since it doesn’t have dampening adjustments. Which model did you get then?
Ak47addict I did get the w/o they’re fine and then I switched witht the one with dampening adjusment and they’re great
Ugh, am waiting on my set. Kinda bummed over China vs Japan MFG.
Been waiting since July 6th and it still hasn't shipped. Megan Anti sway bars are also on wait, different merchant, but I got a letter explaining this. I expect my coil overs are in the same boat (no Pun intended).
Are these compatible with edfc?
Just ordered a set for my 350z, UK based, so lets see how they do
blackchallis how are they so far??
Any news?
Bro answer
How is it ?
Legend has it product still is still shipping
Is there anyway I can get main parts of the tein coilover like if I'm going to "rebuild" some ?
How do you set preload if the collars are used for height adjustment too?
pandanicoo that’s my question. My springs are loose when I jack up the car. If you have solved this please help me.
So I have the tein street basis z for my Scion tc 2015, and since day one I’ve put them on, I’ve been hearing a loud bang noise in my front suspension every time I’d turn left or right, please give me some suggestion what might be wrong with it
Did you ever figure it out? I got the same problem with them on my brz
So I found Billet upper strut mount fully adjustable do you think that will work with these on a 2002 civic? I don't wanna spend $100+ for them just to not work and I kinda don't wanna go with the adjustable upper control arm
Im not too sure, because TEIN has a specific diameter strut top, which may determine if your upper mount will work.
This model of tein coilover you are talking about is this one right? Tein gss60-8uss2. Because I want to get me some for my 04 wrx
Yes, they will re-use the OEM upper mount
Okay I’m confused when you buy them does it with 4 or just 2 I feel stupid asking but I need to know
Front and back.. from demon tweeks anyway
Does it still come with 4 x Bump rubbers and 4 x Dust covers? I'd assume so?
Yes correct
Hi what about the top mounts?? we use the stock ??
Basis Z & Advance Z you will re-use your OEM top mounts. Only Flex-Z and Monosport offer billet upper mounts. I hope that helps
I have installed my coilover set but the rears seems to look odd. There is no top mount for this set so I reused my OEM mounts. When I jack up the car, looking inside from the trunk the coilovers look normal but when I release the jack the piston rod in the coilover protrudes from the interior and the mount does not sit flush.when I push down on the trunk you can see the piston rod bounce out of the top mount.
My preload was never set when mine were installed. They were just slapped on.
How can I adjust my preload, and if I change it from having none, will it raise my car?

The basis Z doesn't have preload
@@jin5632 no wonder they were so shit. Glad I switched to bcs on my miata
@@Yeer718 how the bc coils feel. my basis z are shit and bouncy
@@nickpollock9714 better than stock
My set just came in. Would you recommend that I just buy new OE upper mounts rather than reuse the current ones? (2010 scion TC. 92K )
You should ALWAYS replace the mounts. If the strut bearings are bad it will affect the quality of the ride...such as binding in the steering... I learned that the hard way lol.
@@GHOST-gv7he thanks a lot man. I appreciate you getting back to me
@@kalannorman3275 you're welcome
Hope you went with new upper mounts. I got my car with these installed and they used nasty OEM mounts. They were old and just busted recently. So now I have to take my struts out and replace the uppers. They completely failed and one of the struts is now out of place
realy thats work ?
My front right is popping on my 2007 civic si coupe any recommendations?
sounds like pre-load is off, or top hat is not seated correctly.
marc youngsma 7 inner or outer tie rod or sway bar end link, I had same problem.
I've just had some of these installed on my Lexus is250
They are so bouncy. Definitely not comfortable. What have we done wrong?
yes, they tend to be softer than other coilovers on small bumps. In turns is where they will tighten up.
Okay, so correct me if i'm wrong. but could you put a top hat on it from like a better model where camber can be adjusted?
Forrest Dillard yes as long as the top hat were to fit your oem strut then it would work on this
Any way you can remove the bottom collar? To go lower?
kane reamy i have removed the bottom one on my fronts and im gona install them again this weekend. Feels far to soft now
How many miles do these coil overs last before i have to replace them?
i have seen some TEIN on cars for 30k+
I need some help my kit didn’t come with a damper tool are they all supposed to
Contact who you ordered from, and they should be able to have TEIN send a replacement
Could you still add a camber kit to these?
Yes, i suggest to use a camber kit anytime you lower your vehicle
i want to buy a set for my ep3 civic, how low can i go?
safely 2.5" all around
what is the max drop in height for these coilovers?
about 3" realistically. They do not drop the lowest on the market. more streetable.
You should have a fidget spinner video and you can talk about how it works and how it is built. Other then that your going to be a hit 👋😜
I want that clone statue
Where do u buy a single strut?
TEIN directly
can I lower these all the way without any preload ? has any one tried lowering the farthest they would go? and how did it go for you ?
You can, but the ride will be extremely SHITTY!
Could these be set at stock ride height
no, they are about 1" lower than stock at there highest setting.
How to adjust stiffness of this coilover?
You cannot adjust the stiffness on the Basis Z. Only the ride height
I’m looking to keep my ride height but get a little more cornering performance in my LS400. What coilovers do you guys recommend?
found anything? looking to do the same
You might as well just go the strut and spring route.
Jensen Eicher ME three!
Does this have dampening adjustability
no, just height adjustment. re-use oem top mounts
I think street advance z have damping. Not 100% sure tho
Hello Friends I have a base model 2009 subaru impreza wagon will these fit my car? Thanks for any help in advance im pretty new to this car stuff😊
Is there any way i can make the ride stiffer
KJoshua Crisostomo put a stiffer spring I run 20k in the front and 18k in the back is super stiff
Kuo Huang stupid question... but where do you buy springs with different rates? Thanks
How do you raise it lower ?
Could not process request. Died immediately
So you basically just adjust height and that's it?
Yes, they are height adjustable and self dampening
have these and im having an occasional small clunking noise in my front right wheel when i turn the wheel slightly any one know what it might be? it doesnt happen all the time just sometimes
Rene Garcia do you have them dumped all the way as low as they can go?
Daniel Vega no can still go an in. and a half lower up front and an in. in the back
havent done any alignment still since im ocasionally changing it to find the perfect height for my daily driving and havent checked any other components but funs fine i have the front slammed all the way it can and the rear with like half an inch left and havent had any problems with them
Probably around 10k on them maybe a bit more i recommend for starting but if for a real long term id recommend another higher end coil system a more comfy one
Make sure your top hat is aligned properly. It's an alignment issue or a strut bearing problem.
Can you adjust preload?
They’re just ride height everything else is pre set
i thought these were manned in the states........no?
No, originally all made in Japan, but the Z line are all made in china. Keeps prices down.
Are these the tein coils that go for $460 ???
Maybe, all depends on the vehicle.
Yeah they're the ones you're thinking of
after the coilovers break in how much lower will it drop.
shouldnt sag more than 5mm
If you leave in an area with winter and salt, you want to reuse your oem mounts
Why?
do these come with shocks or do i need to buy shocks?
The TEIN Street Basis Z Includes 4 x Shocks & 4 Springs. Just re-use the OEM upper mounts.
What's the drop on these ?
up to 3.5" safely
If I give it a like amd share and subscribe do i get discount ill order one now off ebay
Just install these Tein on gs430. They are too bouncy. My suggestion is spend the few extra dollars for better coilovers.
Make sure they are pre-loaded correctly.
@@MrRobear how? All u showed was the ride height on these. And it looks like with these if you were to lower it to the max then it would shorten the strut travel
"T-EYE-N" not "Tane"...
Junk........👀
stop dude.. just stop.
My Tein Street Advance Z have about 30 possible clicks to adjust dampening. Is this normal? The manual says it's supposed to be only 16 clicks.
