well i havent Heard anything bad bout them wearing down a lot, If u can survive the harsh ride on daily drivin roads then u can get JICs, Im stiking with the HA's for now.

Well i would think that the rust problem would happen to most suspension set ups wouldnt it Not sure if it would totally cause a problem or anything...i still have yet to get my car and suspension so i cant really comment. Im still ganna have to go with the Tein HA, ive heard some wonderful things. And evry product isnt perfect, put a lil WD-40 on the HA's and then u should be all set

Tein HA's are adjustable, thats probably why you feel they are stiff and smooth...so are the JIC FLTA2's its just JICs don't last nearly as long as teins from what I have heard. I hear a lot of good things about GPsports, I want a set now, although they are not adjustable(the shocks I mean) their springs rates are bad *** 12/10 a believe, so they will not be like riding a CL500. In the US its hard to get any good suspension set ups, especially since TEIN is mainly selling its bull **** stuff here(SS, Basic, Flex). JIC isn't reliable. For around 1G probably HA's are the simplest for you, they adjust and everything else...if your gonna spend more JIC's are alright, but I would rather wait a little more and get Apex's.

I have Tein HEs, I like them... they work well for me. They are plenty soft for daily driving, but they can also go to a decent setting for drifting. Hell I even want to go to a stiffer spring. They are 8/6 stock, but i want 10/8. If you want, you can get Tein HAs, but they dont have camber plates and have softer springs...like 6/4 or somthing...i forget.

JIC sucks...
GP Sports is good
HKS is great
Apexi is good depending on what you get
Tanabes rock
