hmm let's see...the pros and cons of each setup...
TEIN NA:
PROS:
-16 way "externally" adjustable dampening front and back. You adjust it at the top of the shaft, exposed in the engine bay and in the trunk, i think.
-30mm shorter case for added suspension travel. Harder to bottom out.
-Progressive spring rates for better ride quality
-Adjustable Spring Perches can be a pro or con
*Pro: it'll adjust exactly where you would like it within its specs
Example: if you want it lowered it say exactly 1.8in or whatever just snap the C-ring into correct perch on all the struts and that's it versus threading, droping, and measuring until you get it right with the GC's.
*Con: Won't go as low as the GC's, not as precise.
CONS:
You gotta send it back overseas if it needs service.
No personal preference of spring rates. Just soft or Medium.
and the adjustable perches, like I said, it can be a pro and con.
KONI(YELLOWS)/GROUND CONTROL:
PROS:
-Service departments are here in the states
-Personal preference of spring rates offered by GC(Eibach ERS Springs)
-Threaded Collar for height-adjustablility, can be a pro and con
*pro: If you want your ideal height you can have it, slammed for show, raised for go. Easier to corner-weight.
*con: Hard to get right the first time, and it'll never be right all the time, say if you want it 1.8 all around it can be 1.7 one corner but can your eyes tell the difference, needs alignment everytime you drop or raise it.
CONS:
Less dampening adjustability, i think its like 4 way "internal" (KONI)versus 16 way "external"(TEIN-NA)
Stock casing, meaning less travel than the TEIN's would have at any given height
Linear spring from the GC's can give it a little harshness on the road.
So...anything else??? :frog:
p.s. I may be wrong on some of this info. So correct me if I am.
