Cant compare BC BR with Tien basic . has to be BC V1 damper with Tien Basic. BR type is different level of coilover kit.

That can happen due to wreckless use or improper installation.

PS note : BC BR offers more features than the Tein basic .

Give us a bit more information about your situation and what you want from your suspension setup.

The Tein Basis will be constructed of higher quality materials and the damping will be more comprehensive. The BC BR will have higher spring rates and harsher valving but it has more adjustment for height.

Personally i wouldn't want to make a CU2 very firm since its more of a luxury style vehicle

Well i though just wanted to lower the cu2, so increasing the centre of gravity cos when i turn the vehicle its like turning a ship lol, also more damping and more flexibility with height adjustment. Budget would be around 1.2k-1.4k

Tein. > BC

But if yours is a CU2, just freaking buy Rudy's KW coils..... It's like $1000 now.

An it's German made quality.

Cu2 coils, PM Rudy, he's in Melbourne I think.

As to Ke coils, I've yet to hear a bad thing about them.

try also amazon, Heeltoe shipping is exxy.

top hats you can salvage from your existing suspension (uninstall from your existing to the new one)

camber kit depends on how low you go.

all of my mates that bought teins have been dissappointed with how low they go, usually run them maxed out and still not low enough, depends on what your definition it, but even on lowest setting mates still have 2 fingers of wheel gap, thats on a wrx and on a 180.... mates with bc's still can go lower on the coilovers and are running it slammed with no problems so far...

so if your going for low, then bc
