I understand theres always going to be a better product, i love the Tom's stuff but way too expensive for me. Not sure, i will ever push the car to the specs of what the high-end coils produce but for most of us, a simple drop from any of the above spring companies would suffice. For me, going with Coilovers is about adjusting height/dampening to my liking and having near stock ride was important to me.
So, I'm not saying there isn't better companies than Teins, but will we ever need or use the performance of the high-end coils the way it was intended? IMO, its a bit too pricey to justify having a set for just driving around (spirited driving), now if we were literally racing (track only) than It would justified the usage or need for it.. Other than that getting high-end coils would mostly be for aesthetics "eye candy" and bragging rights..

I'm going to have to disagree about the Teins. I'm sure you guys are right about most of them, I've had many suspension setups and so far without spending an Arm & Leg. My teins from Japan has been the best setup I've had so far, I don't know about Teins not made in Japan but my Comfort Sports Rides better than stock, handles roads with good manners while providing superb performance.. Can't Complain since IMO its perfecto.. 
this is very true and it isnt the first time i have mentioned i wanted a set of custom ohlins or motons as those were the best coilovers i have EVER used in my life EVER!

you can disagree all you want don, doesnt make it untrue.... i know they garbage ESPECIALLY since so many knock offs exist of them too (even ones claiming to be real teins)

Edit: Theres plenty of peeps running Teins with no problems, you and Bippu is the first i've heard to say anything negative about Teins, You said you had Teins on Honda's and other cars but Never had them on a Lex, so how do you know their crap? Its not like you to blanket statements so what gives? Show me proof instead of just saying their crap, how are they crap? until you give me some real evidence - shut your pie-hole
