The Tein website now lists the basic damper for the matrix for $890. This is basically the same as the more expensive coil over, except the shocks are not adjustable.See

He was also selling the fully adjustable ones. This is old news they have been available for quite some time. If I was going to spend $800.00-$900.00 on springs and shocks, I would definately spend the extra $200.00 to have them fully adjustable for height and dampening. I just checked Ebay and there's a set of SS Coilovers for $968.00 plus shipping.

They had the basic coil overs for under $700.
http://cgi.ebay.ca/Toyota-Matr...wItemA $300 saving would be significant to some people and becomes cost competive to coil overs, which do not have upgraded shocks, require a lot of rework of the struts, and may not work on 95 and later vibes. I had Koni's on a car many years ago, and never changed the factory settings.
