Default Need help choosing new coilovers

I am looking for the best all around set-up, primarily street with the occasional track day.

Cusco Zero-2 - 03+ 350Z
Has anyone tried these out yet? Any opinions??

Tein FLEX, Tein EDFC Controller
I see that some of you have these, how do you like them? Heard from some that they are noisy?

JIC FLT-A2
Have heard a lot of good things about these.

Nismo G-Attack Suspension System (S-tune)
Read a good review of these, but it was only one review.

Which would you guys choose and why?

I bought JIC FLT A-2 and they are awsome. The ride is sooooo much smother yet just as stiff. Harshness is BS. I didn't go with Teins because of the rattling issues that are widely reported. I looked at the Cuscos but didn't have any feedback one way or another.

Go JIC you won't go wrong.

if you will take your car to track then i would get jic, but if you just want to use it for normal street use then get tien flex.

JICs for the track only is a myth and BS. The car rides unbelievable on these JICs. I will never go to the track and bought these for everyday use. The lowest setting is actually softer than the Teins and the hardest setting is harder than the Teins(more adjustable range 15 way)and the spring rates are identical.

The only consideration between the Teins and JIC is the electronic feature of the Teins. I personally have Nav/DVD so I have no room or no need for electronic adjustment. The adjustment on the JICs take all of two minutes for all four wheels. They give you the tool.

Talking I have TEINS and love it!!

If you get a good/experienced installer, he will do a good job. I have no noise or rattles on my TEINS. The reason I choose TEINS is because of the EDFC. I can adjust it in the comfort of the cabin. If you're going to track your car only so often, I think TEINS is the set for you as you can program the controller for the right setting for street and track. I can even adjust it while driving rather than stop, click, drive until I find the right setting for me. I set the softest setting for when my fiance is in the car, right after she leaves, another setting for me, and the last setting for track....if I ever go. All 1 click to the EDFC!!

Oh I do use my track setting if I feel like some "spirited driving" on some back roads!!
