Well, I ride on Tein SS and it is what I consider to be one of the top suspension setups for daily/aggressive driving. It isnt anything that I'd ever use if I was seriously competing in autox or anything though, its just not that stiff first of all, and personally, i dont trust the shocks to accept much stiffer springs. I'm not sure about anyone else's experience, but after I installed mine (like 2.5 years ago), I just noticed that the body roll was slightly reduced, and actually produced a "jelly" like feel in turns and stuff...It "felt" more like a chassis twist as odd as that sounds. But, I bought front and rear strut bars and that fixed that problem for me...$750 seems ok...but I probably wouldnt pay more that $700 for them, depending on where he lives.

they run around $900-1000 brand new. I'd pay no more than $700 myself. I'd recommend Koni/GC over these anyway.
