I must say your post was very helpful and I think I would choose th TEIN CS scince I really don't want a slamed look. I want to keep a good ride scince it's my daily driver. And I think the 19 inch LOWENHARTS would look quite tucked.

i have the hks hipermax LS+ and love them, smooth ride, quiet, aggressive stance, will go very low, d2autosport seen mine this past weekend and commented that its slammed, also the 30 way adjustability dampening is a plus

I just installed my new suspension

Zeal Function Zi coilovers

i had the Tein Flex w/edfc

i have probably close to 100 miles with these now

and i thought from what people were saying i would have a harsh ride

but to be honest i fiind it to be very very comfortable ..and quiet

they are pricey but im very happy i went with these

if you have any questions on them PM me

im going to have a full write up soon
