Default BILSTEIN n TEIN

I know this has been asked many times before but...here it is

Bilstein PSS vs TEIN

I know one is about $200 less then the other ... one has dampening and the other doesnt, but how does the PSS ride compared to the ride of a TEIN. (i.e the settings on the Tein coilovers "clicks")

Drive in mild harsh city streets and dont want it too stiff... WTB PSS so want to get some info>> ?

I also was going to go that route, but the bilsteins just dont lower the car enough for my taste(1.8" f&r).

I've got a box chock full of Bilstein PSS sitting in my living room right now

Gonna be in Aruba this week, but have install scheduled for first Monday in May.

Expect a complete writeup on them - should be able to do a good comparison of how much lower they look / go than my current Eibach / Bilstein, ride quality, stiffness, etc.

I plan to weigh them before they go on the car, and weigh the combo of old springs/shocks as well to get some good baseline data I haven't seen much of.

I thought the PSS coilovers were about 200 less than TEIN HA's. Beause of this I didnt know if i wanted to scarafice drop and dampening for 200.
