Yes I have noticed plenty of people using these coilovers, but in my experience they do not compare to others. Bc and megans offer the same adjustments that others do, however the ride in teins, stance, jic feel so much better. I have had the chance of riding in each in an SC and to me you just can't compare performance wise. Now that could be due to rim size, tires, other suspension mods.
As for price that's when you can debate. But for the price I would still choose teins. Megan and bc can be stiffer than teins, but much like bc you can change that. Just my quick review on coilovers for sc.

It is true that your ride affects on your wheels and suspension. It is kinda hard to judge which is best because everyone has a different feel. Some like it stiff, hard and others wants smooth, not bouncy ride. There are bad teins and jic coilovers as well. The best way is to buy the suspension and swap them until you are finally happy. If you buying like 3-5k coilovers like KW or Kei or something, that a different story.

Starke's are very good coilovers actually. They are big in Europe for all the German cars. I've been tracking my car with them and like them more than my Tein SS before. Not sure if its because the SS dampers were 2 years old and just went out, but I'm waiting fot them to release them for my girl's car too.

Are they made by Stark Industries? If they are, They should be good! Think about it, Their CEO Tony Stark made himself a highly advance suit of armor that can fly! LOL!

Yeah, Tony's got that super cool suit. I heard he fights bad guys and hangs out with the Avengers sometimes.

I bought them for $899 shipped for the IS250. Its been on the car for a few months and couldn't be any happier. One or two more paychecks and I'm getting these bad boys for my SC. I think SC is a little bit cheaper.

After a few days with my new coil overs, I have a brief review if them (Starke Racing) They went in with out issue. I left the adjustment at just over half way which is how the dampeners are set from factory. The ride is very smooth, not bouncy at all, yet nice and firm at the current setting. No squeakes or noises so far.
Any questions, please ask. Hopefully I can help.
