Before & After: LTuned to Tein CS pics...
Just thought I would throw some pics on so others could see the difference in height with the LTuned vs. the CS.

the tein cs lowers the car a tad more and make it totally perfect. good job 
for the pics, you put in the wrong link. you should right click on the pic you wanna post and go to properties, and then copy the link to the .jpg file directly. that's the link you want. right now you have the link to the page of the pic, won't work

Honestly, I know where you are the roads are ruff but the CS does ride smoother than the LTuned. I had the LTuned on for a while and wanted to wait putting the CS on so I could get a better compare for myself. I loved the LTuned and it is great for the price but I wanted a fully adjustable setup and as close to stock as possible. I think it rides great and love the look. Might drop it a little more but no scraping or bottoming out on anything so Im happy...

i know this subject is EXTREMELY subjective, but please define smoother....
I find my Bilsteins (which are most definitely different than the KYB L-tuned) are a bit harsh over bumps and road holes

Response and handling also seems better.It is difficult, however, for me to 100% quantify because when I had the L-Tuned, the car was configured differently. I think I had at most the L-Tuned S/S, TRD sways, and the TRD FLCB. With the CS now, I have all the major front, rear, upper, lower bracing. This probably added to the handling but I feel the ride is softer than the L-Tuned. It is not softer in a sense of floaty but just softer damping. It is a tribute to the CS that I can feel better road quality with more suspension bracing.
I am not sure if that made enough sense but ...
