Tein advance vs A-spec

I was wondering if i could get the same comfort level and handling with the tein advance like the a-spec suspension i currently have. I would like to lower it a little, nothing crazy but a little more then what the a-spec offers. I do take longer highway trips sometimes so A-spec is ok to live with. Anything much stiffer wouldnt be welcoming...

so my question should i go with the teins or stick to a-spec ?? I dont wanna regret it

^^^^ damn, smoother than type s? what level of damper did you set?

I have aspec suspension. I'm not looking for smoother, I am looking for little stiffer than aspec or same level as aspec in term of stiffer ride.

From what I hear the Tein SA's have one of the most comfortable rides out there for coilovers, mostly due to reusing the stock top hats. I don't think you will regret getting them at all.

These coilovers have an adjustable damper so if you want a stiffer ride than what you have now with the aspec suspension, you can also benefit from these coilovers as well.

Ever thought of getting Konis and putting your Aspec springs on them? You can go lower with the Konis.

He said "lower it a little" but a little might different for him. Konis can lower you like ~20mm or something.

^yeah, each perch is 10mm.
but on the grand scheme of things, my TL doesnt LOOK dropped at all. I'm on aspec springs with koni yellows on the lowest perch.

"you're dropped!??!?"
"yep"
"oh, it doesnt look like it."
"thanks!"

That's what I'm after. I want to out corner all the kids with ridiculous aero and suspension mods on the S2000s.
