Default Tein basics

What do you guys think of the tein basics? Ive done research on them and every website states a different range of lowering height for front and rear. If I just want to lower my car 1 inch will this suspension do it? I'm not interested in other suspensions because I can get the tein basics for a really good deal used. If you have any pics with this suspension can you post them up. Thanks.

I have tein basics. you can adjust them to any height you need to. you can leave it as high as you want. one inch isnt going to be a problem.

Basics are great for the money. I had the tein super sport and then basics both on the same is300 and wasn't much different for daily driving.

look into the new Tein Basic replacement, the Tein Basis. They are height adjustable via the lower shock mount to retain full shock travel.
