Note on that second link there's no TEIN, just BC Racing coilovers. The TEIN stuff at the bottom of the page is EDFC controllers for their line of in-cabin adjustable shocks.

The TEIN part # for the '14+ Mirage is GSE46-11AS2. I know Motovicity distributes them, which means most shops in the US can get them.

Has anybody actually gotten the Largus coilovers yet? I remember seeing someone post about them quite awhile ago but haven't seen or heard of anyone getting them.. I'm running the Tein springs right now and wanna go to coilovers but I'm hesitant about the Tein coilovers cuz people say they are pretty soft which is opposite of what I'm looking for..

I don't think anyone in US has Largus, but may be in Malaysia, Philippines or Australia.

From what I recall looking at specs TEIN coilover springs a marginally firmer than the springs they sell separately, but barely so.

Largus is monotube and TEIN twin tube; monotubes generally better. Damping is adjustable on Street Basis is not.

Street basis are definitely the cheapest coilovers you can get in US, they run <700$

EDIT: just found data

Largus F:4k R:2.5k and TEIN is F:3k R:2.1k

I really like the largus ones... They look good, and the data seems better.....

Thanks, that helped a lot to make a decision. I'm hoping it'll help out for my autox times and spirited mountain roads

Yeah there are some really nice roads in CA, UT, AZ and CO, and you are right in the middle of it. We have TEINs on order; I need to call and pest the place we ordered it from. If they still don't have it (it has been 5 weeks) I will be very tempted to cancel order and order Largus.

$200 aside there are only 2 thins to question: TEIN has a good reliability reputation, and Largus is unknown. 2nd I am afraid that 4k fronts will be too stiff in relation to rears and will make car understeer. You can probably dial some of that out with damping, get UR sway bar of install camber kit.

It took almost 5 months for the TEIN springs to get to me from the place I ordered them, I wasn't too happy about that, but when I installed them and how much it improved the handling I didn't care too much. Now tho, I want to have the height adjustability and the adjustable dampers as well. I think it will make the suspension feel more complete. I'm hoping with coilovers the front camber will be adjustable cuz that will definitely help out with eliminating some understeer.
