BETTER! OBX is like between APC and Ichibahn for products. I haven't ridden on OBX before, but i can tell you, my Tein feel better than the $1200 H&R full coilover system.

Tein will be better for a simple reason. Suspension is Tein's business. That's all the do and specialize in. They are to JDM suspension, what Alpine is to car audio. That's all they do, and you can only get them from authorized shops. Tein is the same way. I'd trust a company that all they do is design and manufacture suspension goods, than a company like OBX who yeah sells them with their name on it, but they probably don't even make it themselves.

I run TEIN SS. Nothing comes close to them no matter what others say. They are 16-way adjustable and have the easiest way to adjust them. They can provide a smooth enjoyable ride and also give you a race car feel whenever you want it. the TEIN SS's are capable of like dropping the car to the ground but never go to low, otherwise you'll ride mostly on strut and that could be very......STUPID!!!! But make the right choice, go TEIN, I got mine for 900 and installed myself. Simple easy. Just make sure you have a good spring compressor or be in for a long time of frustration.....

TEIN basics will give you the ability to drop the car but they wont give you race feel when you want it cuz they are not dampening adjustable.... Save the money, I did its hard, but well worth it in the end. You'll thank yourself later for getting the TEIN SS. trust me, like I said I run them on my civic

I don't have the Basics, I have the SS which like I said are IDENTICAL to the Basicis, just with the addition of the 16-way dampening adjustment. You won't be dissapointed with either one of those that you choose to get.
