I was in the same boat as you, and after a long time of trying to decide which ones are the best, I decided to go with the Tein RA's. I think they are great, I'm really satisfied with the ride, handling, and look.

I have heard nothing but good things about the Bilstein PSS9's, I'm sure someone will chime in with info about those. I was really close to getting the T1R coils, but just went with the Teins.

I think that any coilover you choose, as long as it's in the area that you're looking at (PSS9, T1R, etc.), you're going to be happy with it.

don't rule out the BC N+ if you are not trying to track it a lot, with the pss9, i don't think you are.
I was in the same situation and decided, from crazy searches and bugging my s2k buddies i decided that the n+ gives me what i want. Price, adjustability and good for daily driving.

All i have to do now is see how much i have left from xmas shopping haha.

I am currently in the same boat. I think the T1R are very well designed coilovers, and I like the way they look. The PSS9 looks very nice and tempting as well. I herd the BC rides harsh for DD, but I would not know since I have never riden in one. But I am most likely leaning towards PSS9 since they provide wider adjustibility. I still have time to decide. GL on your decision.

Agreed. I didn't have enough money for either so I went with Ground Control coilovers and Koni Yellows.
