If you already have stiff Japanese coilovers then get them rebuilt for cheap.

Where is the "none of the above" option?

What is your goal and budget?

I have the PBMs and I feel theyre still too soft even on the stiffest setting. I can feel the bodyroll. Anyone else have this problem? I know im dumped but ive had coilovers on other cars that wouldnt dip and bounce at all. Im thinking about selling these for the stance GR+ since thats what I see most people drifting on.

Teins arn't the best for drifting, but it will do, I doubt many people on this forum are skilled enough to really know the difference between coilovers when they drift. A good sway bar is much more noticeable.

I have Tein because of the EDFC, my car is my DD and I would hate to have it too stiff or too soft. If you are building your car specifically for drifting, I would look elsewhere.

I installed my PBM last month and I was also surprised by how soft they were... especially in contrast to everything you read about them being stiff as ****... but I think thats only in relation to 240s.
