Unless Tein has a facility here in the US to service their product, I say

If you go with the CS, then you obviously are buying it for its name. There is no other benefit over stock except for height control, IMO.

You should be buying tires first anyways!!!

Tein has a facility in Arizona. i dont what they do there but the exist in the US.

J- how are you judging that your stocks shocks are just about done? Your ride height hasn't seemed to drop any since you put the springs on last year, unless you're experiencing some a) bounciness or b) extreme hardness in riding. A good example is dave's DA
