Bilstein/Eibach combo FTW.

IMO, Tein SS is very very very comfy if set at the lowest. are u sure it is set at the lowest? if im not mistaken, u turn the knob anti-clockwise all the way. my ride with tien ss was more comfy than having koni's + H&R springs in my old ride.

You should only turn the knob the prescribed number of "clicks" from the hardest setting (16). If you just turn it all the way anti-clockwise you may damage the shocks as this will go past the the recommended adjustment range which will usually be anywhere from 22-26 clicks.

I wonder if buying it from Japan is cheaper again?

If u have a look on ebay u can get the ss for $950US and $350US for shipping

With the upper pillowball mount, you don't have to remove the stock mount from your stock suspension to use with the Tein SS. The Tein pillowball mount will improve steering response, but can give you a knocking sound as the polyurethane bushing is worn. Mine is knocking and it sounds like blown shocks!

No, it won't wear out unless you end up with a lot of negative camber by lowering it too much. Even so, you should get a rear camber kit to get proper camber settings. The front camber doesn't change much when lowered, so you won't need a kit for the front. The reason why the Tein pillowball mount knocks is because it is hard. As you wear it in, the tolerance gets a little larger and when polyurethane hits metal, you get a knocking sound. The car still drives fine and stuff.
