The only Teins u can adapt to the GS are the CS the ss and flex the coilover is too big to let the bag slide over. If you want to adapt the stances to air in the future its possible.

As far as coil, the tein SS are a nice coilover but far behind times now. No adjustable preload, monotube which would require you to send them to Tein for rebuilding, which would result in at least 3 weeks or more downtime. The Stances have adjustable preload and height. They can also be rebuilt at home as the shock cartridge just unscrews and new one screws right in. If it was my car and my choice I would choose between Stance or BC.

The BCR setup is a really nice kit for the money, IMO the "best-bang-for-your-buck-setup".

If you want some help deciding on a kit then feel free to shoot us a PM
