BTW i can get the Tein SS for $990 shipped to my front door and the HKS i would be buying from someone on here for about $900 approximately....so uhmm yea can someone help me out here!!!! thankssssss sooooooooo much guys !!!-JaPPy

personally, i would go for the brand new teins and forget the whole "all hks car" thing. different companys are better than others at making different parts, dont sell out to a name.

+1 for the tein's

figure tein specializes in suspension.. HKS does too.. but more of their focus is on a wider variety of performance parts. tein is suspension. 'nuff said. i'd go with the teins b/c

1. new2. stateside support 3. i dont know about the spring rate but i feel like the tein's are going to be able to distribute the performance more comfortably4. you dont really know the condition of the HKS ones.. could have been driven hard etc etc.. used and abused

tein FTW
