Which setup: Tein CS or HKS LS+?
Which coilovers would you guys recommend: the Tein CS's or a set of the HKS LS+ ?
Anyone tried both and have any feedback on these two similar systems? Besides the spring rates does anyone know the differences between them? I've done a search and there is not much info on the HKS LS+'s. Thanks!

... well I don't really care about exclusive or going super low - just curious which system truly is the better system in terms of quality and performance.

well i have the tein cs....basically its all preference...they both have pros and cons
tein CS:
pro- quiet, comfortable, ride is pretty close to stock imo
cons- cannot really slam the car, little body roll imo
HKS:
pro- similar to the CS and you can tuck..
cons- price difference..
I have the tein CS because after doing some research...i knew what i was looking for...and after getting them installed...i have never looked back

So, with the CS you don't have body roll? That's good - I was thinking that if the ride is close to stock you would still get that body roll and floating feeling. So, the CS takes out the float and reduces the body roll even with close to stock comfort - correct?
Do the HKS LS+ coilovers accomplish the same thing?

HKS LS+ are a little stiffer than the CS, but still very comfortable. The big price difference between the HKS and the Tein is a US market thing.
In Hong Kong / Japan, the LS+ is cheaper than the CS, but in the US Tein choses to offer its products at a relatively low price in order to get more market share.
Also, HKS is introducing a new line for US and Europe. I heard rumours that HKS' internal shock design is infringing some patents, and they do not dare to aggressively sell the existing coilovers.
