Default Need Advice on these Coilovers

Okay, I was sold on the Tein CS's until today. Read the post on Coilover debate by "Zippyguy" and am now re-thinking my choice. I am installing 18’s, I want a stock ride, and I need to lower it to a 1-1.5 gap. I have access to HKS LS+ here and the prices on each are close $200-300 less than stateside. Need feedback Pro's and Cons on each.

CS feel unstable at super soft settings. WObbly IMHO

CS is are softer than stock at the right settings

CS will eliminate ur gap.

if you're in Japan, get Tom's Advox Comfort. Those are more available in Japan...I think there are a few on Yahoo Auction now. Where in Japan are you now?

Northern Japan, Misawa. Tom's are $$$ even over here, want to stay in the $1-1.3K price range. I have come to find out Yahoo Auction is some times more expensive than getting the item NEW. Wanted the chrome trunk bar Yahoo wanted ¥6400 got it for ¥6300 at dealer.

oh, are you a gunjin-san?

you just have to look around. There's a Tanabe Sustec pro going for 67000yen and a Section spec RM going for 117500 yen.

Also check ClubAristo's classifieds...they sometimes have awesome deals.
