Tein coileys are proper stiff mate, even more so on uneven country roads. All down to personal preference though. I had the Basic kit on my SR and loved every minute of it, but it's just down to what I like.

Springs will be softer but you won't be able to get as much drop from them

Good one. Tein Basics are far too soft for me! If I ever manage to save some money I'm going to upgrade to some HKS coilovers and sell my Tein Basics!

He sold car.

But yeah unless you want the height adjustability of the tein basics dont bother as they aren't much better than the tein springs. You are better off on all accounts to buy the tein springs and then you could in future upgrade to adjustable dampening koni shocks which can be set as soft or stiffer than tein shocks!
