Default coilover Tein SS-P question

OK, I am in the UK so when I buy things I have to make sure they are worth the postage and possible customs charges!

I have had tanabe springs for a while and I have never got them to stop making noises when I went over bumps, I could never get them to tighten properly because the top nut would just spin..so

I want to go in at the top and get some Tein SS-P coilovers, I have searched everywhere and I can't find two answers I need to know

1, do they come pre-prepared, i.e. I don't have to mess around putting the
top hats on etc
2, Can you get them to ride nicely, close-ish to a stock ride?

Any help appreciated!

to answer both of your questions, yes and yes.
the tein ss-p coilovers are just a direct bolt on after you take out your OEM stuff.
There is dampening adjustability on the coilovers so you can control the smoothness of the ride.

yea i had the tein ss w/ edfc and my ride was great but I opted out to get airrides instead since in Orlando i had to many potholes to avoid and speed bumps...haha get them man and you won't regret it, I also still have my set of coilovers for sale, but w/o the edfc if you are interested...

Default cheers

I am pretty convinced about getting them, am I right that they don't go very low though? I was told around 1.5inch drop all round max?
Does anyone have a pic they could share?
As for buying the used ones, it's the shipping that kills me, if you could offer me a sensible price including shipping to the uk (and they are in good condition) I would be up for it?!
