Well Ive never tried the tein fullcoilovers,only the s-tech springs so I cant really say..But these Skunk2 full coilovers are great..Ride is very stiff,no bounce at all..You can dump it if you want but I dont do it..Handles well..But its to stiff for these roads in NJ..If I had to do it again I would do KYB AGX with Eibach pro-kit..Which is alot better for the street..

I'm running the Illumina 5-ways with Tein S-Techs. While I don't have anything to compare it to other than what I just removed (GR-2s which were near the end of their life and stock springs), it's MILES better than before. Most people agree that suspension is such a subjective thing, but having said that I absolutely love this setup.

Much more aggressive stance than stock and beautiful ride quality. As always, YMMV
