Best handling in what respect? The Tein SS/P are the best if you plan on tracking your tC. The Tanabe are supposed to be the best compromise between track and street. You also left off H&R.

got the Tein SS-P's here coupled with Progress rear sway bar.. gotta say it's a really awesome setup and I thoroughly enjoy it. What I really need though, is the EDFC offered by Tein.. the bumps are hellacious!!

This is the info I have on what's available:
Tein Basic - ~$779 (1.4"-2.7"F/1.4"-2.6"R) (392 lb/in F/ 559 lb/in R)
Tein SS - ~$1079 (same as basic) (same as basic)
Tein SS/P - ~$1189 (same as basic) (same as basic)
Progress - ~$979 (1"-3"F/1"-3"R) (250 lb/in F/ 350 lb/in R)
H&R - ~$1050 (.75"-2.7"F/.75"-2"R) (estimate 200 lb/in F / 325 lb/in R)
Tanabe Sustec Pro S-OC Type II - ~$879 (3/8"-2"F/ 3/8"-2 3/8"R) (336 lb/in F/ 448 lb/in R)
Tanabe Sustec Pro S-OC - ~$1059 (same as Type II) (same as Type II)
Also US spring rates are normally done in 50 lb/in increments so the Teins are likely 400 lb/in F and 550 lb/in R and the Tanabe are likely 350 lb/in F and 450 lb/in R. The rates listed above are from actual rate conversion.

Best is extremely broad...
I've heard TRD is the best overall comfortable/daily driver safe setup.
My "bias" opinion for "best" performance would be Tein SSP since thats what I have, however Teins are the best springs no question about it.

wow that seems so soft compared to what all the other brands are running. whats the advantage of having a super stiff suspension? better cornering on tracks i assume? please bear with me as i am new to all this. thanks again for tha answer though
