I'm in the market for some coilovers and I am heavily leaning towards the Tein Basis because of the price ($680) and made in Japan from a company that knows their stuff. Has anyone had experience with these? I will be lowering about 2.2 inches and I'm at stock height now. I tried doing some research for what coilovers are good for our cars but came up with not a lot. If the Tein Basis aren't good, then what other coilover should I look at that won't blow or rust within 3 years? This is my daily driver and I don't care if the ride is stiff or anything like that. I will also be occasionally doing some spirited driving also. Thank you!

rsx tie rod ends are bigger and stronger. that's really the only advantage
