i have a stock 02 gt with the action package and stock rims. what is the best full coilover package to get. i heard that the Tein Basic is a good one. also what is the best drop height to put on it so that the car functions well with slight incline drives and such.

Tein basic is good if you don't care too much about Performance. They won't handle as well as the SS or Tanabe's Suctec Pro, but if all your after is having the ability to adjust the drop, then they're your best bet. Probably around a 1-1.5" drop would look nice

Probably around a 1-1.5" drop would look nice 1"-1.5" You will not going to see a big difference. Drop your car 1.8" Front and 2.4" Rear (Eibach Sportlines drop)... P.S.I do not like coil overs...very stiff, springs are much better, cheaper and softer...

1-1.5" drop is good for him 'cuz he doesn't want to go too low, so he wont scrape his TRD front bumper

That's the beauty of coil overs, he can start out with a 1-1.5" drop and after driving for a while,if he feels comfortable, he can go lower It's all about feeling comfortable What's good for one driver may not be good for another
