rebuilding the tein ra/rs is actually quite expensive. when i contacted them, i think the end total would cost around $800 to have them rebuilt. i think it was $150-$175 a corner + shipping to japan.
just to throw another difference between tein and BC is that the teins have aluminum housings and the BCs don't. also the teins have brake line brackets, and with the BCs, i believe you need to zip tie the brake lines out of the way?
with that said, im leaning toward BCs.

Bah, you only need to zip-tie the front lines....
Brackets are extra weight anyway
And for Koni ground controls and springs, they won't be a matched pair. With a coilover package, the spring rates and shock valving are match to provide the best ride and handling.

A few more questions for owners of these setups:
[LIST]
[*] How many miles do you get before a rebuild is needed?
[*] How well do the coilovers stand up to the weather?
