Pros:
- Good quality and performance for the money.
- Strong linear track ready spring rate 14kg/mm front and 12kg/mm rear. (unlike KW v3 soft variable spring rate that oriented towards street use)
- Street compliance is better than OEM.

Cons:
- It's built for a relatively low price point.
- As above mentioned it's one way adjustable. (one knob to adjust compression and rebound at the same time)
- It has no chance to compete with a $7000+ or even $10000+ 3way or 4way setup, such as JRZ Moton

This a track car and running with 295 full slick square. Tein's spring rate and valving is not bad, but far beyond enough for competition use. Ideally a track car should have a natural frequency above 2.0HZ, which on our car converts to a spring rate and valving above 18kg/mm(1000 lb/inch) front (rear depends on where the spring is) . None of the pre-built coilovers on the market reaches such level.
