Tein CS coilovers - Anyone have them? Opinions?
Been thinking a lot about picking up a set of Tein CS coilovers, and wanted to hear the opinions of people that have them, or have ridden in a Z with them installed?
Hows the ride? Adjustability? I know they can be turned down for a comfortable ride, but how much adjustment do you have?
How about the height adjustability? I am looking to be able to adjust from stock height down about .5" to .75". Not a huge drop, but I want to make sure that it doesnt' have a lot of height issues.
Since my Z is my daily driver, I want to have a comfortable ride, but be able to crank it up a little when I go on my drives or mountain runs.
Opinions?

I also have considered the CS Teins but have settled fo G-35 struts with 350Z springs. Also replaced the 18" wheels with 17" . The wheel swap improved the ride more than the strut swap.

I have the CS system with the EDFC Controller and couldn't be happier. It truly smoothed out the bouncy ride, especially on the highway. There are 32 different levels of dampness on the controller. I was a little scared about the softness of the ride in the beginning. It still gives you better performance than stock, while smoothing out the ride, very similar the the ride in G35.
Get it, you won't be dissapointed.

^^^What are your programed settings on the EDFC? Did you experience any knocking sounds w/ this setup? When I had the Flex on my other car, on the softest setting I would get a squishy sound over speed bumps or dips in the road. Is that similar to the CS? One more question, on the stiffest setting, how would you compare it to stock? Thanks for you help!!!
