i've seen ur car here in MD... might have raced you in a white solara...... do the KSport coilovers have any noise issues when going over bumps or cracks in the roads?

No, The most obvious difference is ride height the Gr+ can go a LOT lower than tein CS.
If your into dropping somewhere around 2 inches or so(
) and want a really comfortable ride id say get the Tein CS.
The stances are pretty comfortable but not as CS.
..But if you want to slam your gs deff go with something else..

^^ I have only had one set of coilovers so I don't have much knowledge, but the Tein SS I do have produce no noise that I can hear (and I'm very particular). They also allow a very respectable drop for daily drivers and at softest damper setting it's reasonably comfortable. Price ain't too bad neither.

I never hear any knocking noises, and there is no comparison between the two.. its just different. I had Flex on my Evo.. its just a different drive with the vehicles. I like them both though.
