I thought about getting Teins for my M3 since alot of my friends use them on their imports and they love them, but after much discussion with the s14.net guys and some long distance friends overseas, Teins are considered entry level stuff.

Try Ground Control suspension.

Is the ride still comfortable for daily driving? Compared let's say to OEM sport? Any squeaks or rattles? Heard that about GC setups a while back...

I dont have any squeeks or rattles.. just the occasional thump of my subwoofer bouncing against the walls when flying around corners. Comfortable... well... it's not a luxury car anymore.. its a sports car=) Anything with great handling becomes stiff.. you gotta understand that. I mean.. i have to watch out for bumps and if something is wrong with the road i know it.. but i also know when everything is RIGHT with the road too.
