Tein site says that "Street Advance" is the evolution of their "Super Street" line. I had the Super Street coilovers on my FD, and they flat SUCKED. Zero low-speed damping, infinite high-speed damping. I.e., dampers did little to nothing to control pitch and roll for handling, but seemed to totally lock up over bumps and other road imperfections. I recently replaced them with Ohlins DFV and the difference is PROFOUND. WAY better control and much much MUCH better ride on the street (despite 22%/57% stiffer springs).

I would not even bother with coilovers at that price point, for street or track. IMO you're better off with springs and Koni sport struts/shocks. Or just springs, even.
