Default If i can't get Tein CS? Whats my other option for comfort?

Just what the title says... My guy called tein today and some distributer bought them all up so there's none left but he's trying to get one for me He mention Tein Flex as a alternative or backup but i know romil had them and went to CS so they must not be as comfortable..

So whats my other options guys... After seeing my 20's in the rear they need to be dropped bad... The gap is to big for sure....I just don't want to throw any old coilover or S/S set-up... I want coilovers for sure..

or you can look into jic stuff, or maybe tanabe

JIC's ride will be more like the Flex.

Tanabe, i am not too sure. Some of the Tanabe setup uses KYB shocks with the spring collar welded over these, and the piston size is stock size, whereas the other makes have much bigger pistons.

Yup, I just posted them up for sale.

Hate to sell them just because I know they've been backordered for so long
But I "should" sell them so I can finish up my other car

Brand new in the box they came to me in. Only 1 coilover was removed to take pics. Rest lay the way they were packed

Well, just got home from work and missed the CS's for sale... My guy is waiting for Tein trying to get me a set but i think i have about a 50% chance.... My backups I'm not really sure of.. I just don't know what to do? Alot of these coilover systems seem like there made for aggressive drivers and not the cruiser type Is there a happy medium somewhere between the CS's and lets say the Bilstein's...

If the CS are what you want then I would just wait for them. I know they are on back order but they are worth the wait
