it's really up to you. if you're going show, get B+G's. it gives you a really low drop (about 3" i think). if you're doing autocross get teins (only give 2" drop). B+G's have self adjusting dampers (S3 - speed sensitive suspension) it adjusts the hardness or softness depending on your speed. with teins.. you can adjust the dampers to how soft or how stiff you want your ride. you can also get the EDFC which you can adjust the damper from inside your car w/o having to do it manually, the problem is that i dont know if there is a EDFC for our cars.

so if you're planning to drop your car below 2" get B+G's, if you're going for autocross or anything like that get teins.

btw.. i have B+G's with a 2.25" drop.. heres a pic

the ride is great on B+G's! a little bouncy, but what do you expect from a lowered car? i've never been in a car with teins so i cant compare the two

as long as the coilover stands the harsh road condition, bouncy is not a problem for me... my car is used for daily driving and mostly long distance driving...
as long as it performs good... i will love it...
