Overall Coilover Quality - Toyota Yaris Forums

Thirty-Nine, let me know what you do end up using and how you like it. There seems to be so much different stuff out there with pros and cons for each I'm not sure what route I want to go anymore. (Off topic, this was my 666th post!, hehe)

I'll more than likely get the Tein Basics. I had Tein S-Techs on my xB and they were nice. I would've like a bit stiffer of a ride, but I was also on stock shocks.

In all reality, I autocross 5-6 times a year, the rest of the time I'm driving to and from work. I don't need a super-stiff suspension for that.

I hear the Tein quality is supposed to be pretty good. I've heard some negatives about Megans and KSports, mostly on other forums (Honda-Tech, Scionlife).

I would run Megan over the Teins... always had horrible luck with Tein stuff and it's really not any different when it comes to quality. The Megan is at least separetely height adjustable and has more decent spring rates. Having the damper adjustment doesn't hurt either.
