Suspension Questions

I've been looking through the forums and researching for awhile now but does anybody have any pictures or info on the Tein Street Basis Coilovers. Mines a street driven rx8 and I don't plan on autocrossing anytime soon. Also, does anybody know how low these coilovers go? I am deciding between these coilovers or Tanabe gf paired with Koni yellows for my car? Any info is appreciated, thanks!

You have not looked hard enough, there are a couple of Tein Basis related threads.

yes i've been searching these for awhile and will continue to search. What would you think would help get rid of most of the wheel gap the best, the roads where i live are relatively flat and its stricty street driven. Just want a little advice. Thanks.

There are some posts out there, trust me. I just installed mine last week, see my post here

Could go a little lower, but this is perfect for me, I think my setup was about 5/8" front and about 3/4 on the back, that's the thread thread measurement. Bottom of the fender to center of the wheel is about 13 3/4" front, 13 1/2" back.

Awesome! I'm assuming you have them set to the lowest setting in those pictures?

No, can go lower, but then I would not be able to drive like the car is meant to be driven.
