which one would be better for my Tanabe DF10 springs? are there any main differences?
Advantages of Ltuned - price ($220 for a set)
Advantages of Bilstein - Lifetime warranty
Please help me choose guys..
Thank you

ltuned
pros...... cheaper cost
comfy but kinda bouncy ride still retain some oem float
cons....wear out rather quickly
cheaper cost cheaper constuction
not very performance tuned , if you have bracing upgraded sways etc , the ltuned will not be up to the task for long
bilstein sports
pros...... very controlled ride
lifetime warranty
very very very controlled and sports orientated ride with no float , wallow or dancing of the susp
cons...... none period (imo )
the bilsteins will control your susp , it will feel like a sports tuned bmw , read the thread by reggie k about his roller coaster ride with him in my car with 3 other guys .. each guy was over 200 lbs and i was at speeds in excess of 120mph perfectly composed in cornerin , lane changing even got a short sideways drift going while taking a light very fast at a intersection..
if you dont mind firm not stiff , this is for you if you want to retain some oem feel stick with ltuned
good luck to ya

Thanks for your input .. Need to clarify "lifetime warranty" on the Bilsteins tho.. does lifetime warranty mean that these shocks will NEVER blow? so it will last longer than the car itself?

now be prepared for a thrilling ride , you will wonder afetr driving on the bilsteins as compared to the ltuned if under your hood says "made in germany" as opposed to made in japan
dont forget to complete the handling pkge with daizen sways and at the very least both front and rear upper strut tower bars and get from steve if you dont have it already the trd lower control brace (its very inexpensive)
good luck and let me know how it turns out

Thanks..
Sways will probably wait until next season.. unless i find a good deal on the classifieds forum.
Im planning to get the TRD STB only the front though since my trunk is full
and how much does the TRD LCB cost?..
