A koni yellow/custom rate GC setup will outhandle a Tein SS setup anyday, and will cost less.

We're talking about springs here folks..And a koni yellow/custom rate GC will outhandle many other full suspension setups and cost less, not just the SS.

Tein S-Tech's will give you the drop you want plus it'll ride just like stock on the stock struts.

No, it will. I've driven a car on both. And what does an EDFC have to do with anything? Its a waste of money unless you are a professional road racer and need to change your shock settings while in the middle of a race. It doesn't make the car handle better...

Do you have any clue what you're talking about? For performance I would never buy springs...IMHO lowering springs suck at everything. They suck at lowering the car, and they suck performancewise.

Ohlins anyone? Ohlins in my book has to be the best suspension out there. I use to have Ohlins suspension on my dirtbike and it rode like I was on air. Way faster track times and way better handling. Now if Ohlins can do that in the dirt, on a rugged *** track, imagine what it can do on the street.

I know its only your opinion, but I disagree. Sure coilovers may be the ultimate in handling, but my konis and h&r sports are a night and day difference over OEM. They lowered my car enough to handle a hell of a lot better and not scrape on bad roads. So, I would say that coilovers are more for race, where you have a flat track and can lower the **** out of your car, and at the same time when the race is over you can raise the height of your car. But for my use, the spring/shock combo work great to improve the handling of my car without causing me problems on the street.

That's just my opinion though.
