The plan is a set of Tein Basic Damper coilovers since it isn't likely to see a track.

Thoughts?

i don't know much about track set ups, but you defintely don't want tein basics...

if you still use your car as a daily driver then perhaps spring strut combo would be good
such as koni yellows w/ tein s. tech springs or with tokico d spec struts


or maybe try getting the tein flex coilovers.
they're a little more, but i think they will be worth it.

"Plan" was probably the wrong word to use, then. I'll look into the Konis, and the Tokico series.

I'd like:

-Height adjustment only (damping adjustment not needed).
-Factory upper mount.
-Retain near factory ride quality (bumps, humps and potholes...)

well then you're best bet is to just got with the konis or tokicos..only problem with those is that they aren't ride height adjustable.

I'm sure the snow will stick around for a while longer... It'll give me time to figure something out.

Suspension first, exhaust, intake, wheels/tires, then I may have to see about some tuning. All in due time however. I am enjoying the car as is!
