Tein offers several coilover configurations depending on how the car is used. The Street Basis Z targets budget-conscious builds that need a clean drop and improved handling over stock without breaking the bank. The Flex Z adds 16-way damping adjustment, letting you fine-tune the ride between daily comfort and a firmer performance setting. The Street Advance Z sits at the top of the lineup with EDFC Active Pro compatibility, allowing electronic damping adjustment from inside the cabin while driving.
All Tein coilovers are ride height adjustable and include matched spring rates designed specifically for street use. Hardware is built to Tein's Japanese manufacturing standards, which is a big reason they hold their settings over time and consistently receive strong long-term reviews from daily drivers.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between Tein Street Basis Z, Flex Z, and Street Advance Z?
The Street Basis Z is Tein's entry-level coilover -- height adjustable with no damping adjustment, ideal for a clean drop on a budget. The Flex Z adds 16-way damping adjustment so you can tune between a softer daily setting and a firmer performance feel. The Street Advance Z is the flagship street coilover, compatible with Tein's EDFC Active Pro system for electronic damping control from inside the car.
Are Tein coilovers good for daily driving?
Yes. All three of Tein's main street coilover models are designed for daily use. Set at mid-range damping on the Flex Z or Street Advance Z, they ride noticeably better than most lowering springs while giving you a lower, more controlled stance. Tein's Japanese-engineered spring rates are specifically tuned to balance comfort and handling for street driving.
How much do Tein coilovers lower your car?
Drop range varies by vehicle and model. Most Tein street coilovers allow between 1 and 2.5 inches of lowering from stock ride height. Check the specific product listing for your vehicle's adjustment range before ordering.
Do I need an alignment after installing Tein coilovers?
Yes, always. Any change to ride height affects camber and toe. Get a 4-wheel alignment after installing coilovers to avoid uneven tire wear and handling issues.
What vehicles do Tein coilovers fit?
Tein makes vehicle-specific coilovers for a wide range of Honda, Acura, Nissan, Infiniti, Toyota, Lexus, Subaru, Mazda, BMW, and Volkswagen models. Use the fitment selector above to confirm availability for your specific year, make, and model.
