Default Apex WS Dampers vs Tein SS Dampers. Which one to choose??

I can't choose between the 2, could you help me decide and tell me why you would choose what u picked? These will be going on a 00 civic sedan.

If you think there is something better. Tell me

i dont like ant teins below the flex......SS's have a tendancy to rust on the coller where you adjust height , they dont come with pillowball mounts or even an upper perch..... they are a quality product tho!!!! i voted for the WS dampers cause i would rather have those than SS's....now put the flex against the WS and youd have a different story

One thing I like about my Teins is that you can rebuild them, I not sure if the Apexi are like that though? So far the Teins have performed great, love them

I'd go with the Tein SS also.... I had the Apex WS on my accord and they rode like regular coil-overs.
By the way I have some Teins HA for a EG and also fits ITR if anyone is interested PM me

Yeah...pay &gt; $1000 for coilovers that aren't damping adjustable Screw Apex'i

Tein SS are the better of the two...but personally i'd go with a Koni/Custom GC setup for less money and better performance
