Tein street basis z ride height

I'm thinking of finally buying coilovers for the 8 and it looks like the tein street basis z are the cheapest option and from whathe I've read they're fairly good but I haven't seen much pictures of an 8 with the same setup on the lowest it can be dropped. Anyone on these coilovers have any pictures? Or any other suggestions? 😇😊

Cheap and RX8 don't go in the same sentence. Save up for something quality.

I have seen a couple of people with them, they are just Tein coilovers, not sure how pics are going to help you, there are tons of Tein installs here. Not sure why you would want to put them at the lowest setting either. But for the price, the new Flex Z are nice. At least Tein makes their own stuff and actually tests it unlike the other made to fit in Tawain crap.

I've got Stance SuperSports apparently, the basic Stance coilover. It's a little stiff but I've had no issues as far as handling and adjustability goes. My 8 sits about an inch lower, that's all I really wanted to go on CO roads.

I have the Stance and I have hated them since new. Nothing but problems and they handle like crap even with Swift spring upgrades. I have some Bilsteins waiting to go on.

Eh. Maybe I just suck at driving but I've not had any issues. I'm going going to save up for some Bilstiens, but when I bought the car Both rears were spent and and coils cracked, and I got a deal on them.
