Probably going to be HKS and Tein CS because of their spring rates(they're both about 7/7kg) . But between the two i would rather get HKS.
Out of that list above, i'd probably get KW.

I had the Tein CS and now i have HKS. I can personally say that the CS are not as comfortable as the HKS.

If you want the best damping control then go with KW's.
The spring rates might be a little bit more than the Teins or the HKS' but they will feel more supple on the road.
If you want any more info or a price feel free to PM us

Tein CS hands down. I have them with EDFC couldn't be happier. These coilovers ride better than stock..I can also adjust them in cabin if I want it to be stiffer or looser.

Tien CS + EDFC . and you should be a happy camper...
Just Dont lower it to much, as you will compromise Tien CS spring rates

TEIN CS for sure. It is one of the coilovers with the softer spring rates.
Good luck!

BC racing with custom spring rate. They are better built and have larger internals than the CS.
