KYB vs. Tien

Lets say your me, you have $900 and want to purchase a suspension setup. I have come to two setups. My friend has a KYB Shock and Eibach spring setup on his car and I like it, but I am also thinking of the Tien basic coilover getup. I can get the KYB, Eibach setup for $600, or the Tien which starts at close to $800. If i get the first setup I would have money left over for an exhaust setup. Which is better?

Just save up until you can get Coilover with dampening and height adjustment from the shock body.

well depends on what are using it for. I think getting AGX with Eibach will be a pretty good all around street/some track. I think they will be better than tein basic

Since you saved up this far, why not wait a little longer and save more and get a good set of coilovers. Good things come to those who wait.
