i'm leaning towards those because tein's stuff is of extremely good quality. everything is exact, the spring rates are perfect for the damping rate, and they last and last and last.
but if you can convince me that GC's and Koni yellows are just as good, and what spring rates to get for the GC's, i would do that and take the extra $500 in savings and put it somewhere else. like brakes!

Unless you're really hung up on adjustable ride height just get Koni Yellow, Tokico Illumina or KYB AGX (that's my order of preference) and some good lowering springs. Then you have money for poly bushings and a rear sway bar.

Wyoming Technical Institute. good automotive/diesel school. i'm only taking the business mgmt and automotive courses, though. but i might come back down the road and take chassis fabrication, and the hot rod course just for sh!ts and giggles.
