Default Need coilover suggestions....(Tein)

I have been looking around at coilover setups lately and would like some advice. First off, I never autocross my car or do any kind of racing so I am not looking for a setup that is best suited on the track because I am never there. I want a high quality kit (no cheap stuff, rattles, etc). Oklahoma has some of the worst roads in the US. They blow. I want something that is going to ride SMOOTH. Better than stock would be the best. I am looking to lower it about 1.5-1.75 inches. I have H&R sport springs right now and am very happy with the ride height. I have heard nothing but good things about the Tein SS system. I would like to hear from owners about the ride quality and your general satisfaction. Also, any other kits worth taking a look at. Just keep in mind that I want the BEST ride possible (as in comfort) with a 1.5-1.75 inch drop. Thanks in advance.

I have the tein SS on my 96 civic 4 door. I like them a lot and i ride around with them on a firmer setting than most would like on the street and they still ride great. Though my car is all the way down on the thread-collars which is 3.5 inches i believe,so if u got these it ride a alot better. I give the tein's a .

Do you know anything about them having to be rebuilt after so long? Would you say the ride is more comfy on the softest setting than stock?
