My car isn't considered low in that thread full of slammed cars haha, I'm getting old :(
Mate, have u tried asking L-Tuned parts for a quote to have a set sent to u? I bought a lot of things in one go last time so my shipping quote won't apply to u. As far as I know, buying more stuff in one shipping is cheaper than one by one. I reckon, if u find 2 more people to buy a set of coilover each and have them sent together, u can share the shipping and import duty etc and end up cheaper than buying yourself.
I was torn between the 2 brands too, I'll share my research with everyone here :
1. Tanabe can go lower
2. Tein has stiffer spring rates front and rear, people said that on softest setting, it's still stiffer than standard suspension. It's not something I really want for a street setup.
3. As I remembered, Tanabe was cheaper which is a + point, considering that point 1 & 2 already won me over.
By 'Elect Damper Control', u meant the TEAS unit? The one additional device to control damper setting from inside the car? If that's what u meant, no I didn't get it.
