you only have ride height adjustability on the basics.

if tein basics are "too stiff" for you, u shouldn't be getting coilovers. Hell, you shouldn't be driving a 240 or any sports car.

get a used lexus or some shit

basic is hard? To a lot of people here it is soft.
What are your intention of the 240sx? A nice daily driver it sounds like.

I think you should get a luxury car.

Tein Basic is probably one of the softest "coilovers" on the market.

Switch over to lowering springs with some tokico replacement shocks, sell the basics.

You can purchase new springs for your tein basic...

They are usually around $90 per pair front or rear...

If its too harsh for you, you can go down a couple kg, if its too soft, you can go up a couple...

It probably seems that way because its dumped and has no more travel and its hitting the bumpstops. Theyre only single height adjustable. If 6/6 spring rates and unagressive damping is too much, then springs and shocks is probably for you.

Tein basics are just fine for daily driving. I have them, and they weren't too stiff for me, but then again I can't see going any stiffer daily driving.

Like they said, you might want to sell those and get a nice spring/shock combo.
