I have H&R springs now but was thinking about making the switch to coilovers and wanted to hear from other that might have already done this. Is it worth $900? How is the ride compared to the H&R's?

When switching from spring to coilover set up, coilover will always have a better ride quality, especially with teins.

There are a few members that switch over to coilover and never looked back.

I have Tein SAs, and I'm very happy with them. Go check out Bronco's thread in the Wheels section, he just went through the purchase process and got a lot of input from other members.

as potz said, coils will always ride better and have the added adjustability

Did the swap and couldn't be happier.

I'm currently on Tein springs but I can tell you that if you have the cash and want the coilovers they won't disappoint you. Not once have i heard anyone disappointed with the Tein coilovers. Had I not had a baby on the way I probably would've gone the coilover route myself.

The advantage of coil overs is the ability to adjust them to suit your specific comfort and control level.

About to make the swap (well, from OEM) and couldn't be more excited!

I've NEVER seen one negative comment about the TEIN SA's.

with tein SA's are you able to get EDFC? i kept seeing one of the vendors here saying they got word from tein that EDFC is compatible with the SA's but on the website it says not compatible... I'll be looking to go with SA's sometime next year after I get rims

From TEIN's website:

Yea I figured there would be all positive feedback. Looks like I'll be going with the SA's in the near future. Thanks for the input guys!

if its springs vs coils.. 99.999999999% of the time coils will come out on top

what is the best bang for the buck TEIN setup for our cars?

potmilkz

tein sa or ss

i bought mine locally since i'm in canada and ordering from heeltoe results in extremely high fees, but if you're in the US heeltoe is probably your best price

We carry every Tein product and they are almost always in stock.

The TEIN Street Advance is a great setup for any vehicle. They provide performance without sacrificing comfort and they provide comfort without sacrificing performance. The Street Advance might not be everyone's cup of tea though. The SA comes with both ride height and damping adjustability. If you feel as if you're never going to adjust the damping on the shocks then you really don't need to get the SA. Your better bet would be to get the Street Basis. The only difference in the Basis and the SA is the ability to adjust the damping. So if you're just looking to lower the car without really caring about damping, then I would go the Street Basis route.
