Default coilover setup

hey guys, i was wondering what coilover set up would be optimal for agressine street driving and auto xing. i have it narrowed down to 2: T1-R B-max coilovers or the Tein CS.
are there other ones that are good or better? i like the t1r bc of the large piston diameter, 42 mm i believe. doesnt a larger tube mean more fuild displacement with less travel?
i plan on changing out the springs with swift springs. if i were to get the t1r i would get 12k all around.
do you think that sounds like a good street setup? if not give me some ideas please.

thanks!!

Tein CS is designed for street comfort. Hence Comfort Spec.

Anway, if you have to go with one of the two, get the T1R. Also, make sure the shocks can take the valving of a 12K spring.

A really nice setup I've personally driven in are the Tein RS. They are double adjustable (compression and rebound) so you can make them feel really good on the street as well as the track.

I haven't driven the KW Variant 3, but I have heard they are amazing for the street and weekend track warrior.

If you have the money, go for the Tein RS or the KW Variant 3 (KW over Tein).

^^ oic, i did not know that cs was comfort spec, i jsut remember some one posting they were pretty good for the street. i tried to get more info, but the tein website sucks dooky.
i know that the rs is good, but i dont have that kinda cash. i also dont have the cash for the kw.
what spring rate do you think would be good for the t1r. i really do not care too much about comfort, if i did i would be in another car.

thanks for your input!!
