Tein 2011+ Scion TC (AFT20L) Street Basis Z Coilovers

These Tein Street Basis Z coilovers are made for the 2011-2016 Scion tC. They're a popular choice for drivers looking to get a better feel for the road and adjust their car's stance. If you're looking to lower your tC and improve its cornering ability, this kit is a solid option.

The Street Basis Z series uses Tein's advanced damping technology, which means you get a good balance between sporty performance and everyday comfort. They feature a twin-tube design, a common and reliable setup that helps dissipate heat effectively. The spring rates are carefully selected to work well with the factory suspension geometry, offering a noticeable improvement in handling without being overly harsh for daily driving. You can also adjust the ride height using the included spring seats and locking collars, allowing you to dial in the look and feel you want for your tC. The damping force is pre-set, meaning you don't have to worry about making complex adjustments – they're ready to go right out of the box.

When installing these coilovers, you'll be replacing your entire strut and spring assembly. It's a good idea to have a torque wrench on hand to ensure all fasteners are tightened to spec. Because these are a complete coilover unit, installation is generally straightforward, but it's always recommended to consult your vehicle's service manual or a professional mechanic if you're unsure about any step. After installation, it's highly recommended to get a professional wheel alignment to ensure optimal tire wear and handling characteristics.
