Tien Suspension.
The company is called Tein.
Also, do your own research as to what will do the best for you and your car. Tein makes a great suspension, but you may want to look at other options like Ground Control, Megan, D2, Omnipower or JIC Magic. If you have your heart set on Tein, get one of the systems that accepts EFDC, and purchase that add-on. This will help you achieve street comfort.

Anyways, I've owned/drove cars with tanabe,tein,hks,and a number of other coilover setups and to me tein by far was the worst on my 240sx. IMO/from what I've read elsewhere, tein is a middle class suspension company that spends ALOT of money on marketing in america and since you see it everywhere you end up thinking it must be good. Granted my experience with them was just a tein basic coilover setup for the 240sx(which is garbage) I've drove in a tein drift spec 240 and it was a HUGE improvement but still not as good as other companies out there. I would look into the new tanabe sevens or fives, silk road,cusco or so on. But it all really comes down to budget. Tanabe has their version of EDFC that can be programed to change rates according to mph which could be very useful. Think about it, you could have a specific rebound/damping setup for each turn on a track.
the moral of the story is...
just because it rides better than lowering springs on stock shocks, doesnt mean it is that good.
no point in making reccomendations if you have little basis for comparison, or havent done any research.

Like the poster above suggests, get a good spring rate, and get some used koni yellows revalved or something if you are on a budget. For example, a set of Ground Control Coils w/ a good spring rate + revalved konis will outhandle most anything. It will be the best track setup you could imagine outside of a 2k coilover. One thing I did not mention before about buying Tein - do not buy anything less then Tein Flex.
We carry several manufacturers of suspension. It all depends what your looking for and what your budget is. Please pm me or call me and we can go over details. My name is Justin. 703-339-5566
