Default Sustec SS vs TEIN SS

I'm in the market for some coilovers and would like some opinions/reviews from those who have ridden in both--

Ride / Handling / Lifespan

Sustec Pro S-S http://www.tanabe-usa.com/coilovers/s-s.asp

vs

Tein Super Street http://www.tein.com/ss1damp.htm

I'm a bit partial to the Tanabes since the ride and handling is a lot smoother than the TEINs from testing some of my friends DC5's setups out.

The Tanabes ride and handle great, but they cost a little bit more. The TEIN's handle good, ride a little rough, but i can get them for a better deal

I had the susutec pro ss with helper spring on my dc2. The ride was nice, but on the high way real smooth if that helps you.

My girlfriend has Sustec pros on her dc5 without the helper spring. Very smooth ride it handles the bumps and imperfections in the road very well. Her settings right now are 2 in the front and 6 in the rear. Tanabe
