they both work...1.8/1.6 is a decent drop..I think the Tein S-Techs have that exact drop...as long as you dont lower it around 2in you wont have too many problems..when I had my Tein's I lowered it to the recommended 1.8 in the fronts and I never had a problem of scraping or anything...

1 finger gap all around...rears just a little bit higher but not by much..ride was decent...nothing compares to a set of coilover/damper though....

no, you do not need shocks but i would recommend them. it'll be a somewhat better ride and it'll be a cheaper...due to installation and in some cases shipping.

Yup..but personally I'd rather save allll that money and just get a set of coilover/damper
i.e. Tein SS (1250$) or Tein Flex (1450) w/ EDFC (300$)or JICFLT-A2s (1500$)
