by the way, for all that would get involved in a tein vs cusco debate...
(unbiased answer since we are a dealer for both)
the cusco quality is much better consistently then tein. the tein basic was built to be a cheap coilover, the cusco was built to be entry level in terms of properties. do you want cheap? i would only buy upper level teins made in japan if i had a choice, all cusco are made in japan.

stiffness, and bumpiness compared to stock set-up? How does it compare...better or worse, or only a minor change?

I'm not sure how many setting the cusco coils have, but maybe the softest will be similar to stock?

the cusco's are non adjustable dampening, so you'll only be able to adust the ride height.

will you be getting any more cusco coilovers? if so, still selling for 1107??

and also, how do they compare with the C-ONE sports dampers? Any info on those?? I notice there's nothing written about those on the website and they're a little bit cheaper! or are they totally different things??

We have one more Cusco Compact-S in stock, for the price of $1107.00 with free shipping.

The C-One Sport suspension has a lower spring rate than the Cusco Comp-S coilovers and cannot be adjusted height wise. The comp-S coilovers are a better bang for the buck imo, because they are height adjustable, have a stiffer spring set up, and are a full coilover system, compared to the C-One system, which is just a srping and shock set up.

First come first serve on the last set of Cusco Comp-S coilovers!

Im gonna have to disagree with you totally on callng Tein Basic a cheap coilover. I know many people who have had them for a while, they have been very satisfied with them, its truly a great kit! I also have them, they are very comfortable and YES, THE BASIC'S ARE ALSO MADE IN JAPAN, ALL TEIN ARE MADE IN JAPAN!!!

The Cusco's are good as well, I dont want to compare the two, but almost the same in my opinion. I would definitely rather suggest Tein Basic's for everday use and daily driving over the Cusco's, but Cusco's would be better for track use because of their agressive stiffness...

By experience on Both Tein and Cusco on my Echo Hatch

What i can say that both are realy good product

the only down side on cusco that i saw is that they rust way faster than Tein anyway the ones i had did....


Coilovers like Tein and Cusco are way better than any strut/shock/spring combos for having tested 9 different setups on my Echo let me tell you coilovers are great

What get's me about Tein is that you can't even find a decent picture of them anywhere online. People who have purchased the Basics for the most part seem incredibly pleased however I have seen a couple of poor reviews and complaints of failure. I am sure that goes for most all products of any kind. Megan Coilovers are very appealing at the moment. Are you selling Megan any other brands for comparison shoppers like myself?

We only deal with Japanese parts.
Personally, I would not purchase a coilover system that I have heard multiple complaints about.
As far as Cusco goes... I have not heard complaints.
