Obrigado and I have always agreed that stiffer suspensions only help you corner better on a dedicated track. I, however, feel that the Tein SS is still soft enough to give you a noticible improvement over stock on bumpy roads. I think that Tein did a wonderful job matching their dampers to the springs, but then I happen to actually like a harsh (but not bouncy) ride.

If the Mugens had been adjustable, I would have gotten them over the Tein, but adjustability was important to me. I have never owned the Mugen so I can't say which is better.

What I can tell you from personal experience is that the Tein SS enabled me to take corners with more control and speed than I did with the stock springs and shocks. I am able to keep dead even with C5 Corvettes on bumpy curves. On a level curve, I was nearly wiped out because the mid 90's Corvette I was racing lost grip and nearly plowed into me.

You can't go wrong with the Mugens, but if you desire adjustibility, I feel the Tein SS are also a great choice. I would definitely NOT use Tein HA on the street. They are WAY too stiff for good handling in real world conditions.
