Anyone gone from A-Spec suspension to Tein Street Advance?

Looking to replaced my suspension in a year or so, which will leave me with the option of replacing the current A-Specs with the same OR aftermarket. ATM, I have a really bad taste in my mouth from HT Spec IIs (Also known as F&F Type IIs) due to both poor ride quality and horrific longevity.

That being said, has anyone made the transition? For a COMFORT based drive, which is the winner?

I use the Tein Street Basis. Got them at a good price, I love them, nice tight ride, barely any rocking, feels like i have Super handling and I can lift the car back up for winter. Not sure what the advance have more but I do not regret the basis

I think the difference is that the Advance have adjustable dampening. But +1 for Tein, they ride like butter.

I would suggest BC. When I first got them I didn't put any dampening on and it was to floaty for me... it was like driving a RL. With BC you can rebuild them just order cartridge and reinstall them with no down time.

I haven't had aspec suspension, but I've had Teins on two different TLs. My only gripe with them is that they don't come with tophats.

Other than that, theres no brand I trust more. They're an excellent, reasonably priced option with great comfort and reliability IMO.
