HELP: What kind of Coilovers???

I have a 2k3 SE and I want to get a set of coilover setup for my car. To my knowledge there are three options.
JIC
D2
Tein's

Can someone provide feedback on these systems. I have read that the D2's have noise issues.

What I need to know is the adjustability, noise issues, etc on all three.

I also believe that the Tein has an option for a seperate module to control the ride from inside the car. Is this true for the Tein's? If so can someone provide insight.

The only options you should think about is JIC'S or D2's. You will have to deal with a whole new type of ride which will be bumpy if the roads are imperfect. Even though my car looks alot better, I am suffering from the bumpy roads and being more cautious of road imperfections in Queens.

Why do you say I should only look at the JIC or D2's? What kind do you have? Also what adjustibality do you have them set to?

Thanks for everyone's input and keep them coming.

By the way can you all share the pricing that the JIC's, D2's and Tein's go for?

D2 right now there is a group deal for $900 shipped I believe. Check the GD section, I think urbanimports is running the deal now. Dont sleep though, the price is just going to keep going up as they get popular.

Here is what they look like:

Tein's are no good. I started a thread like this before and than I heard about the bad reviews on Teins. JIC or D2 is similiar.

I still haven't figured out why my JIC's make the swoosh noise when hitting bumps and stuff like that. It sounds funny.

Do you have noise issues like what RAZOR is describing. I do like the JIC's better so far because of the camber adjustment.

D2's do have camber adjustment right? If so is it different from the JIC's?
