Get tien s-techs and call it a day. You drive your car to get from point A to B, you don't need some high end coilover, unless that's what you want.
In the event of you wanting something really sick, Go Zeal or Cusco.

tein s-techs are lowering springs, not coilovers.

Do you want them just to lower your car or are you interested in really improving it's performance? Tein Basics (http://www.201motorsports.com/produc...roducts_id=653) are one of the cheaper coilovers on the market and carry the Tein name, but I can't say anything positive or negative about them. The problem with just springs is you're not making that much of an improvement in handling, but they ARE $600 cheaper than the coilovers.
I recommend geting a set of Basics. You won't blow your stock struts and for full coilovers they're not too badly priced. I'm sure if you contact 201 Motorsports you can get them for a little cheaper too. You could also look into some Bilstein PSS9's, as they're adjustable and can actually be very comfortable on the street. I know someone running them who is very happy. 201 can also get them for you for a good price.

If you plan on getting lowering springs, you will need to replace the struts within a year. It’s a quick fix – I wouldn’t recommend it. The struts will be shot in no time.
Maybe Tein coilovers aren’t the way to go for STis but they were a good buy for me. I researched for awhile before installing them. I don’t think the pillow ball mount is necessary unless you’re really going to hit the track. (I considered the pillow ball but I think the ride would be stiffer.) I have it set for “soft” while in the city and it’s relatively easy to live with. Some people consider suspension mods more important than power – I would have to agree. You have a new confidence level that you wouldn’t get from adding power first. Driving feel was much better than my friend’s MR – we test drove and compared both. As long as you get a reputable brand you’ll be satisfied with the results.

Don't forget to think about rebuild time and cost when they do go. It's something to look into
