Of those who own, have own, or have experienced these suspensions which do your prefer. I don't want any input on other set-ups such as koni, ground control, etc.
Let me hear your opinions

what tein and what skunk2?, skunk2 racing springs are good i have had those on Koni yellows, i know u said u didn't want to hear about those but tein coilovers are much better then skunk2 coilovers IMO

tein super street

skunk2 pro-s

both full coilover setups.

Also do the skunk2 pro-s come with pillowball upper mounts?

for an extra 300 the tein SS come with the pillowball upper mount, about the skunk2 i have no idea i would just call them 888.276.3399

skunk2 has a set of full coilovers with the upper plates.

As for choice, what are you looking for in ride quality and performance? skunk2s setup is going to ride very rough but handling ability will be good. Teins SS are going to ride well (soft) but handling wont be as great as skunk2s setup.

If i had to choose i would go with the Teins SS but thats just becuz i prefer a soft ride for my DD. Skunk2s are more of a weekend car for track days.

how stiff we talking for skunk2?
Like you'll be pissing blood if you hit a bump or 2?

i've had full coilovers before and i didnt like them. Had the omni full coilovers 6 way adj. Handling was great but ride quality just wasn't for me. 2weeks after i got the omnis i sold them and bought the GC's with kyb agx. Love them

I have own S2 coilovers for about 7 months now and is combo with the S2 shocks. The first 3 months was like hell, it was damn stiff, every little bump, you'll feel it. but now sinces that it settle, its not that bad. I drive at least 110 miles every day and I have my ride dump about 2.0 - 2.5 inches. I also did a mad upgrade on the ITR FRONT & REAR sway bars / strut bars [all around] / S2 cambers / all bushings / blox LCA / brand new trailing arm bushing / Megan H-brace / tie bars and you know what...IT RUNS AND HANDLE 10X BETTER.....AND ITS MY DAILY DRIVER... I recommend this setup with / with-out the extra suspension upgrade... BTW Im rolling on some low profile = 205/40/16 Falken Ziex 512

I'd go with the adjustables.

But I've never been At many tein products.

Was much happer with my illuminas and H&R race than my brothers tein basic or even his tein SS. He's not happy with tein either and probably wont buy from them again.

I'm under the firm belief that tein is at least a little over-rated and the company is full of itself. I.E. the ridiculous prices.
