Yes Teins will work. BEANTWNSC3 (Travis) is using the Tein CS on his SC300.

These are struts I made for a friend for the 1GS, but the same principle applies.

poy, did u just knock out the spring seat and slip over the bag for the front strut assembly? i was curious cause there's that kazuo guy from hawaii that knocked all of them off and straight up slid bags over the shock body on his LS. i thought that was strange but seems to be still good with him so far

Nope, I made really short mounts that are welded to the perch it came with, but I have seen it done w/o the perch and mounts made all the way to the bottom of the struts. There's so many ways to install bags and in my 5 years messing with it, I'm still finding different ways of putting it on.
