Basic
I love them but I can't compare to PSS9s or SS as I have no experience with them.

I edited my post because it was too harsh.

Nah that wasn't harsh at all.

pss9s the others dont compare..you have so many adjustments you can make and can make the car feel pretty much exactly how you want..
if its just for street, and your arent going to autox, etc..then id just get basics

I love how the newbie (firstwasane30) in this thread knows how to search, while the OP hasn't found that button yet...

[BoNeZ325is]

what's real funny is how the newbie and yourself are both helpless when somebody is asking for help. i found both threads before posting what i asked for but maybe, just maybe i thought there might be help here in the form of members having experience with both suspensions. so if you have nothing good to say, you know the rest.

I was just saying that it is possible to do some research and figure out an answer by comparing and contrasting people’s opinions...

I'm just busting your balls, don't get your panties, well you know the rest.

Uh. No.

You asked people to post pictures of both so you can make up your mind.
You didn't ask for any help or advice.. Just pictures. There are all the pictures you could deam of in those threads. They're dedicated to pictures of the suspensions you want.

Uh. No. Reread thread title kthx.

I see what you mean, but he didn't only ask for pictures. He asked for pros and cons of both and for us to help him make up his mind. He also asked for pictures of both.

Btw, Ollie, you car looks amazing no the ltws. Where did you buy your basics from?

PSS-9 Kit:)

PROS:
-9 way adjustable dampening. Setting 9 feels EXACTLY like stock sport suspension while setting 1 feels like my racing suspension on my race car!!
-EASY to adjust
-handles great

CONS:
-When I come up with one I will post it.

Why the f*ck is everyone arguing about this? instead of wasting your time posting arguments just help the man out. I don't know if its the same thing for him but I'll search something and the search keeps going for 20 minutes and doesn't show me anything.

I think you mean 9 is like stock and 1 is like a race car. I have mine set to 2 in the front (second firmest and 1 in the rear) Here is a pic of them on my car. I lowered the front since this pic but you can get an idea.

[BoNeZ325is]

so wait how many adjustable setting does tein ss have ?

[DirtOval]

Savage 217. haha yeah you're right. re read it wrong lol.

[Bingo]

Hmmm, may have to go PSS9 over PSS after reading this thread :devillook

I'm pretty sure the Tein Basics are non-adjustable except for ride-height, just like the Bilstein PSS (Not PSS9).
