lowest drop = B&G
better for autox = Tein SS because it has adjustable dampening.

Both are good...just pick one.

Same here, i really don't want to be slammed, been there done that and in NYC its not the thing to do. Thats why I got the Teins, I don't need to slammed and I wanted dampening adjustment.

With my 17s and 205/40/17 tires, the wheel gap in front seems a little too big. My rear is perfect, well a little lower would be good. Im going up to 19's soon and then I will decide on whether I am switching or not.

I have tons of pics of my car in my members ride gallery.riding on Tein SS if your curious.

Its a great suspension, dont get me wrong, its amazing.

it all depends on what you rather have........ bigger drop or better handling.

not necessarily, young one

You can drop too far. Plus we don't know the spring rates of the the B&Gs. I personally would rather drop the teins to their max and have their adjustability rather than being able to drop further with the b&gs and not have the adjustability.

you know i was agreeing with your post, not cutting it up. If you just want to slam ur car, i suggest getting b & g's......if you want better handling, i suggest tein ss.
