For those of you who have Tein CS coilovers, how is the ride? I am debating if I should go with Tein CS Coilovers, or OEM Struts. I want to maintain the OEM ride quality, but from the posts of many it seems like Tein CS rides very much like OEM struts & springs.
Please give me your input. I don't plan on dropping the car with coilovers, but it might change. So OEM Struts? or Tein CS?
Thanks fellas

I was wondering the same- How is the ride quality on the Tein CS? I'm looking to get the teins with some 20's and I don't want any wheel gap. I drive my car everyday so comfort is key!
any input would be great! thanks

Tein CS rides comfortable, only down side is it doesn't go as low as the other coils. You'll need an ss kit to get it lower.
If you want to go a lot lower and get a different brand, you have to trade it for comfort. You'll have to decide if you want low or comfort.

im also going megans also. just wondering what tire sizes you guys are running. i just picked up some l-sportlines m2's with 245/35/20s in the front and 275/30/20 in the rears. kinda old wheels but got them for a real good price. waiting to get some megans before i put them on. Both rear tires have bubbles on the side wall so im wondering should i stay with the same rear tire sizing or go smaller? what do you guys think?
