Just got back from getting the Tein CS installed. Haven't had much chance to get a good feel, but so far car feels tighter, but still comfy.

Here's pics, sorry car is dirty.....

In a nutshell (compared to each other, not compared to stock):

SS - more handling less comfort
CS - less handling more comfort

Chuck,

Congrats on finally getting it installed.

Default Need some true advice
I have been debating ot get it lowered or not, and how much lower do you think you have gone. Is their any compromise in the ride quality of the car from stock. Congrats, closer pics would be nice too.

so far it feels about almost as plush as stock and the steering feels tighter.
