those choices are at totally different ends of the spectrum. the teins are a full coilover setup while the skunk's are a sleeve coilover.

Skunk2 Coilovers suck, Tein is much better

you'd still have to price out a set of shocks/struts to accompany the skunk coilovers. I've been driving on the Tein SSs for about 3 years now with out a problem. I love them and the ride is so nice, perfect for street use.

TEIN SS...the skunk2's are gonna cost you more anyway because to get any kind of performance and ride quality you'll need to upgrade to some good adjustable shocks...that'll run u another 300-600 depending on what you get..another plus to full coilover setups is that the springs and shocks are designed to work together. they'll out perform a sleeve over and shock combo. the Teins will beat out the skunk2's in price and performance...go tein
