But that does not mean that the $1400 teins are better then the Koni 8611
type suspension that Scott and others make.  The 8611 is a double adustable
Strut.  It alone cost 230 dollars.  Its really kinda hard to compare the
1400 dollar TEIN to the 8611 type suspension that True Choice makes that
cost about 2K or more.  Also, Many of use already have the GC Camber Caster
Plates and the springs.  For the money the current TEIN offerings are nice
but you can do better with the Koni offerings if you know what you are doing
when you put the setup together.  I also worry about coil bind issues with
the TEIN at certian heights It just seems from reading there stuff that you
have a very small window of adjustment for ride height.  If you want to only
lower the car 1.5 inch's then the spring will be at the top of the strut and
that may cause issues with coil binding.
