I've never had espilirs in my car so I can't compare them, but I just installed Tein Flex Coilovers w/EDFC in my car and the ride is great. You can adjust the stiffness from relatively soft to very hard with the push of a button so you can get the exact ride that your looking for. I set mine on 7 out of 16(with zero being the hardest) around town and i'm very happy with these coilovers. Just my 2 cents. Good luck with finding a set thats right for you. -Michael.

Check PSS9....tien will probably ride rougher than you're used to

If you just drive on the streets, Tein Flex is the way to go.

I just ordered the H&R coilovers from the GoFast lab here on the site.

They have 345lbs spring rates and utilize a remote resorvoir design in the rear just like the PSS9. Actually, from what I understand Bilstein makes the shock's for H&R to their specs.

I've used H&R coilovers in my Audi A4 and VW GTI before, both were daily drivers and I swear by them! They are comfortable for daily driving, but definately offer a sportier and more aggressive setup.

Once I get them installed on the S I'll post comments.

almost every suspension you can do for under 2k is a downgrade from stock from a performance point of view...but if you want to lower your car you don't have much of a choice. Bilstein has a good rep....
