how much would your coilover kit cost including the remote canisters?

On a healthy budget I would also have Flyin Miata AFCOs on my short list.

I've had the PSS9's on my SP for about 6 years and I've been very happy with them on the street, and on the track too.

I've got mine set pretty low and have no issues with tyres rubbing anywhere and I run 17 X 7's with 205 and 215/40's on the back.

I haven't been in a car with Teins, so I can't really comment on them, but from what I have been told, the Teins have a harder ride than the Bilstiens.
The good thing about the PSS9's, is that you can still have a nice easy ride, with terrific wheel control.
IMHO, a hard ride does not equate to good handling, and often the reverse is true, as long as the shocks have good wheel control and they don't make the car bounce, you will get good handling all the time.
