Neither coilover will be worth the money.

Get the Tein Basics if all you want to do is lower your car.

you must be loaded. You will also need front A arms and a rear camber & toe kit inorder for you to get anywhere close to being aligned.

I would go with the HKS if I was loaded like that though.

Something tell's me you have really not bothered to read the specs on either product or you wouldn't be considering them. The Mono flex use's spring rates that are far too high for what your after and the III's run a higher rear spring rate setup.

Look at Cusco Zero2, HKS RS or Stance GR+

And, you might want to conser if your needs might be met with a simple shock and spring kit.
