TEIN Street Basis Z Coilovers for Honda CR-Z ZF1 and ZF2
Transform the appearance and driving experience of your Honda CR-Z with the TEIN Street Basis Z Coilovers Honda CR-Z suspension kit. Designed for compatible ZF1 and ZF2 models, part number GSHA6-81AS2 combines adjustable ride height, carefully matched spring rates and dependable Japanese suspension engineering.
Whether you want to lower your Honda CR-Z for a sportier stance or improve body control during everyday driving, TEIN Street Basis Z offers an excellent balance between ride comfort, road handling and affordability.
Unlike conventional lowering springs, these Honda CR-Z coilovers allow you to adjust the vehicle’s ride height within the manufacturer’s specified range. The fixed-damping twin-tube design is developed for drivers who want a straightforward suspension upgrade without complicated adjustment settings.
Why Choose TEIN Street Basis Z for Your Honda CR-Z?
1. Adjustable Ride Height
Fine-tune the ride height of your Honda CR-Z using the threaded spring-seat adjustment system. This allows you to achieve a lower appearance while retaining flexibility to accommodate different road conditions and wheel setups.
2. Improved Everyday Handling
TEIN engineers the Street Basis Z suspension range to help manage excessive body roll and deliver more controlled vehicle movement through corners. This makes the kit particularly attractive to Honda CR-Z owners seeking improved road manners.
3. Twin-Tube Damper Technology
The twin-tube internal construction is developed to provide a comfortable driving experience over normal road surfaces. It makes these coilovers well suited to everyday commuting and enthusiastic road driving.
4. Matched Front and Rear Spring Rates
The GSHA6-81AS2 suspension kit features carefully selected spring rates:
- Front: 3 kg/mm (approximately 168 lb/in)
- Rear: 4 kg/mm (approximately 224 lb/in)
The springs and dampers are designed to work together as a complete system.
5. Corrosion-Resistant Construction
TEIN uses corrosion-resistant finishes, including powder-coated damper bodies and treated adjustment components, to support durability through regular road use.
6. Original Honda Upper Mount Compatibility
The Street Basis Z kit is designed to reuse the vehicle’s original upper suspension mounts. Replacement upper mounts are not included, so existing mounts should be inspected before installation.

TEIN Street Basis Z vs Standard Suspension
Standard Honda CR-Z suspension is designed to meet a broad range of driving requirements. The TEIN Street Basis Z system gives owners the additional benefit of adjustable ride height and a matched aftermarket spring-and-damper setup.
For drivers who want comfortable daily use with a more purposeful stance, the Street Basis Z is an attractive alternative to purchasing separate lowering springs and performance shock absorbers.
However, this model does not offer adjustable damping. Drivers who require damping-force adjustment should consider a suitable alternative from TEIN’s higher suspension ranges.
Professional Installation and Wheel Alignment
We recommend professional installation of your new Honda CR-Z coilovers, followed by a full four-wheel alignment wherever applicable.
Correct wheel alignment is important after changing suspension ride height. Incorrect settings can contribute to uneven tyre wear and altered steering behaviour.
