^ uh, what?!

JIC is a great company ... really, there wont be a huge difference since they are coilovers, but are the Teins the ones that come with helper springs? if so, that should be a consideration

tein is going to be quite a bit softer than JIC, so if you have any worries about rubbing or are running an aggressive wheel/tire setup, go with JIC. I have owned JIC and K-sports and I would say the k-sports are in between as far as firmness. I think k-sport has the best and cheapest customer service, JIC charges an arm and a leg for rebuilds and youre for sure going to need them...

Id go k-sport personally.

but if you do go k-sport, youre going to want them re-valved ... stock valving sucks, and if you dont believe me lookup K-Sport shock Dyno's and you will see that they are just not even close to what a shock dyno should be ...

no matter what you choose, you might want to look into custom rates (and helper springs if you want a little more comfort)

Re-Valved K-Sport would be another good option as mentioned.
