Tein is a overall better product, but like said above if you plan to go really low, you will need a camber kit to keep tires from wearing off like butter (depending on how much you drive)

since your looking at coilovers so you can adjust them as much as you want, it would be wise to start with something like 1.75-2 and seeing how you like it. what size are your tires?

Tire Size is 215/45ZR18

The Tein Coilovers say they go to almost a 3 inch Drop in the front and a little over 3 inches in the back would I need to get a Camber kit at that height
