Default TANABE vs TEIN?

TANABE Sustec Pro S-0C vs TEIN BASICS vs TEIN FLEX (w/ EDFC)...?

my criterias are...

a) product quality
b) ride quality
c) height adjustability (be slammed for shows / pics but good height for driving)
d) price (i know TEIN Flex's are 2x price of my other options... is that worth it?)
e) ease of adjusting the height

my car...

is not a race car, nor will it ever be... most "tracking" i'll do with it is SOLO or a few 1/4 mile runs at the track... only reason I want EDFC (assuming my assumptions of it's capabilities are correct) is so that I can adjust the ride feel depending on where I'm driving (bumpy road vs hwy vs average road) and type of driving (running around the city or "spirited")

what do you guys think? I don't care all that much for the EDFC so I think it's really Sustec PRO's VS Basics...

thanks guys~

Call Performance Nissan and talk to their sales people, they sell a lot of different products. I went with Tanabe myself.

After all the work of lowering your car to your liking at all four wheel/tire locations, with all the measuring and then having a precision alignment performed, which makes your car drive "****", your going to want to leave it alone.
