    isn't there more than 1 type of sustec coilovers? regardless... I would be inclined to pick Tanabe's lower end suspension over Tein's lower end models from what I've seen... Both had good customer service when I talked to them... but vendors with experience with both brands told me tanabe's models generally were better valved, and it's true that some of the teins had not so great valving...keep in mind this is comparing both tanabe's and tein's lower end models though, when it comes down to it, unless you're competitive in some sort of racing I doubt it would make a difference to you, just pick whichever you want.
    Please tell me if you think my car looks good. But don't tell me if you think it's ugly - only on IA

    yeah.. but i'm thinking to get tanabe..I heard it awhile back. but not sure since people tend to use Tein among others... and the price is not really much different, they are pretty much competitive.

    tein just has done a really great job advertising and appealing to the masses in the US, personally I wouldn't run any of Tein's lower end models (ie: their twin tube models) on any of my cars because there's so many other better choices out there for the same price. but either way, the difference probably won't be noticeable, so go with wchiever one is cheaper.
