I personally always recommend the BC's over Teins, unless you get the most expensive Tein models they aren't worth the extra money IMO. And then when you do spend that much there are usually better options. We have tried a number of different coilovers and we think that the BC's are the "best-bang-for-your-buck" setup, hands down.
I might be getting another SC in a few months and I'll probably put my Megans on that, and get BC's for my current SC. The Teins are just way too expensive brand new for me and with as much as the high end ones cost, I may as well get air bags.

Both work fine. But one thing to consider.... Does your SC sit even on all corners?

My first SC did not. Coil-overs allow you to correct any variance in ride height on all four corners.

I never knew that you could have an uneven ride height?

This is my first post, so don't destroy me too much. The ride height on the SC vs Supra seems to have to deal with corner weight. I just bought a set of Tokico HP shocks and Tanabe NF210 Springs. Total drop: 1" front, 1.1" rear. Next on my list is a set of 18s to fill the wheel well.
