if you want something that rides smooth like stock, buy the TEIN CS coilovers. THey are very comfortable. That is what i have. Let me know if you are interested, i know of a website that can get them to you fairly cheap.

I think it's called the SF-1 or something. The spring rate is less than the FLT-A2s, and apparently there are a few SC owners who have it.
I'm really curious as to what people prefer - Tein or JIC. I've heard good things about both, but never any solid comparisons.

i think i saw a post on this before comparing the JID with Teins and a few people mentioned they liked the Jic over the Tein. I think manaray was one of them and he has owned both. I'm not sure though, this was a while ago so my memory might not be correct.

I think i may take a stab at the Teins for my SC. I have Eibach suspention on my Bimmer and Koni Yellow adjustable shocks and it rides sooooooooooo good for a car with 4 inches of drop. I'm not sure what the setting is on on the Koni's, but i love them. i was amazed the first time i drove it.
Time for me to start searching on Teins. If I can get Koni's for my Sc i may still do that. i love the way the Bimmer rides. My Koni's are/were 090. Koni coil-overs 1990 - 1998 Externally adjustable ride height $1183.00
