Which coilover set is the most comfortable? Also, how long does it take to adjust the height? Sometimes, depending on where i have to drive, etc, i want to be able the adjust the height in a matter of minutes. Is that possible? I don't have any experience with coilovers so I don't know. Can anyone help? Thanks.

I would say the Tein CS's on the softest setting is the more comfy...
It takes around 15-30 minutes to adjust all four if you're good at it...
To adjust your coilovers, you usually have to take off your wheels (make sure the car is on a jack! ) and adjust them. It's not something you want to do daily...
To install, you remove the stock shock and spring and put the coil over unit in it's place...
If you just adjust it to an overall "acceptable" amount (something no too low for daily use), you should be ok....I haven't had to adjust mine at all...

I have heard the same...TEIN CS...Only time I would consider adjusting the ride height would be during the winter time when it is time to switch to the 16" wheels...

TEIN CS is designed for comfort while TEIN HA is more aggressive. You can drop up to 3" for TEIN HA and it costs around $1150 shipped from SKR http://www.shinkairacing.com/. Tell Dale that Dennis sends yah and he should help you in a very timely manner. Great guy to deal with.
p.s. however, I think he left for Japan this week. Not sure if he can still check his emails.
For more info, go to www.tein.co.jp

how about the TTE coilover set? Bilstein coilover set? How about the L-tuned coilover set that has the factory warranty on it? Hee, just kidding. I've seen the Bilstein and they look great. Does anyone know how comfortable these are? THanks a lot.

Andy,
both TTE and Bilsteins are pretty much the same as they are made by bilsteins. the good thing about teins is that on HA and CS models, you can adjust comfort and height. TTE would be nice if you can get them in europe for ~$1k. but here in US, the price is too much.~$16-1800, and CCE-the distributor hs been out of stock for many months.
for the $$$, i would rather get HR(~$1600, manaray has this one), Bilsteins~$1400, or the TEINS CS-this would be the one if you have more comfort in mind.

How low can you get the Tien CA's and at what cost? Are the HA's that harsh of a ride when dropped about 2"?
I am really pushing for the HA's so I can get that "aggressive" look.
