Default JIC or TEIN?

Does anyone have any input between the JIC or TEIN coilovers? I'm dbating on which one to go with. I can get the JIC and Tein for about the same price.

assuem you are looking at the Teins HA/CS or Flex..any of them will be softer than the JIC ones...either brand is good, i prefer Teins better

I mainly only do street driving from A to B, so Im not sure which one would be better. I still have the stock 16's and stock tires, but eventually want to upgrade to a bigger wheel and tire.

I just did the Tein C/S with the Adjustable damping system. I love it and the ride is great.

Personally, I'd go with the JIC's over Tein's...not that Tein's are bad, not at all, I just think the quality of the JIC units are a litle better.

What's the best place to buy JIC's coilovers from?
