Tein coilover vs. Skunk2 coilover

Hey guys,

I just got a 2000 tl so im on a budget right now. Im thinking about dropping it on coilovers or springs. Im leaning towards coilovers because I can adjust them, this is a good option for me as I might want it dropped real low mid summer,,, you know what i mean?? and i noticed that the Skunk2 coilovers are maad cheap right. But that makes me kinda think,, like whats going on ....why so inexpensive. Anyways so i come to you guys for an experienced point of view.
Since im only looking at the price I was wondering what the downsides to the Skunk2's and the upsides to the Tein's would be? 800 bucks is a big difference to me so i need to know if i will notice 800$'s worth of suspension.

Any pro's and con's would help out a lot, thanks guys!

Quality, Quality, Quality. If you got the cash, go Tein. I have them and they are extremely well-made.
