Default Negatives about Tein CS??

Ok so I've done alot of researching about which coilover setup to go with. This will mostly be for daily driving w/out all the body roll of the stock suspension. Let me say I'm not asking, "which coilovers should I choose" like everyone else does. Every thread I've read so far regaurding the Tein CS has been nothing but good things. Does anyone have any negative feedback about them? I realize they dont go as low as some other coilovers, but I think I'll be fine with ground effects and 19's. Thanks

with a full kit and 19's, on the CS, you'll look decent. imho, on CS, you should put on 20's. the CS just dont drop enough; but i like a nice slame/tuck thats just me though.

when i had my CS, my only complaint was it didnt drop low enough. i've heard others complain about odd noises and squeaks but didnt hear them on mine.

i personally think they are too soft and when you lower your car lets say almost as low you can go on the highway you will hit the bottom of car often because..they are ok for looks and handling but if i had a chance i would get a little stiffer ones

you have to make sure the top, center bolt is tight. sometimes from factory they are loose.

Everyone who claims these dont go lo, Im not sure why you would think so. This was the first mod Ive done suspension wise, and Im almost tucking factory wheels on my 300. Im pretty low, low enough that driveways and certain speed bumps and not the best roads scare me .... the CS goes pretty freaking low...

It doesn't go low enough. I'm almost tucking the factory RIMS, not tires, but actual rim, on the Tein Flex.

They go low enough when you toss on a UAS bag system haha.
