shock dampening ability is exactly the reason you dont want coilovers. especially a junk coilover like tein basics. megans arent much better.

you get a MUCH higher quality damper by buying a koni. sure its not height adjustable, but any time you touch the height you have to align it. the height adjustment is for corner balancing anyway, something most people dont do.

the only exception for cheap coilovers is the H&R coilovers, they use nice bilstein struts.. but they're not adjustable. a non adjustable h&r coilover is still a better buy than a tein or megan adjustable.

with most coilovers you're actually paying a little more for a lot less
