In all honestly neither. Look for something adjustable from the bottom bracket ala jic flta2, insurance, tein flex, megan, stance etc.

First of all thanks for the reply 20 views and your the first. i thought about the JIC's but they take forever to get,i could get a very great deal on a set of ANCELTION'S but the company went under so i decided not to get them.

P.S. why do you say bottom bracket adjustable?

Because you can go much lower when you get a coilover have allows you to adjust the length of the body. CST are notorious for not letting you go very low.

I think you have an LS430. Maybe talk to transformcelsior about the tanabes I believe thats what he has.

I have the Anceltions on my KA9 and I love them. Very high quality, dual adjustable, dampening adjustable. No problems with them at all.

sustec pro 5 and tein cst are single height adjustable, meaning to lower you go the more travel you lose, general these dont go low enough without bottoming out the shock. The ones that are adjustable from the bottom bracket do not lose travel as you adjust for lower heignt and generally go lower before running out of adjustment.

besides being the vaugest question ever (make/model might help if somebody has happened to use that combo before) uas bags usually don't fit over tein coilovers (shock body must be =/> 2.14").

My bad, its for a 98-00 LS400. And uas bags dont go over all teins but they do work on comfort sports.
