Ok. I'm reading and reading but can't find clear answer to this question.
Bare with me on this one please as I'm really new to all this.

The gd setup comes at around 1K and needs assembly. What is the main difference going this way or Teins Basic. The Teins setup seems cheaper and was wondering if somebody could point me out some clear benefits/differences between those two.

Appreciate it in advance.

This setup is optimal for the street.
the advantages:
1.An extremely high quality shock that can be custom valved and rebuilt
2.Choose your spring rates: anywhere from stock Supra TT to bone-crusher 650#/in. And let me remind you Hypercoil springs which are made of the highest quality and wont sag after 3 years
3. No HW: Gixxer drew already points out the optimal spring rates for street and race handling.
4.Comfy: even though they perform exceptionally well on the track they will also ride well on the street over bumps

The Gixxer Drew setup is the suspension built by a suspension guru to be the best using the highest quality parts and hours of trial and error in real world testing. The tiens will never be able to touch them on the track or the street

Appreciate your answer
Seems like best way to go.
Now I need to find somebody in South FL that can either help or do it for me.

and those spring rates were?

I might be absolutely wrong but this seems like it. Take from supraforums GD's post.

all springs are 2.5" ID listed in the following format:
front rate/rear rate/front length/rear length/rear helper springs required/reccomended use

if you see a "YES" you must use helper springs for the rear. Helpers are never needed for the front with these spring rates listed

650/500/8"/8"/YES/Maximum spring for off shelf valving. Recommended for light track use.
600/325/8"/10"/NO/ semi agressive street. Small ride comfort compromises for body roll control. Excellent handling on rough surfaces. Most agressive rates without helper
500/250/8"/10"/NO/ lexus owners or ride comfort minded cars

I have 8" 600lb fronts and 8" 400lb rears in my room right now, with helper springs and guides for the rears. Also have Bilstein coilover sleeves. Now I'm just waiting on the damn shocks, which I ordered on June 3rd and heard this past Wednesday that they're ten days out. Apparently Bilstein is having a hard time keeping enough of the AK1242/AK1243 shocks in stock nationwide, and I imagine that this is largely due to the growing popularity of this setup.

I have this setup on my car and i love it. I have the street setup to gd's specs. I didnt get stiffer springs and im glad i didnt. The car feels planted and alert as is. Next on the list are some front and rear sways...then it should be dam near perfect for me.

What does imo stand for?And from what i have heard on sf you can adjust it to ride like stock.And It is a all around coilover.Street/track.There is a thread on sf about it.

in my opinion-imo

with the soft spring rates it will ride like stock but handle much better
