I kind of do not like this for the looks but I really appreciate ride quality since I already tried Megan lowering spring and cheap coilover.

My next project will be getting ST XTA which I hear is about equivalent to KW V2 and the price is much cheaper. Also there are 2 separate springs one for high speed the other for lower speed which is ideal for spirited driving and daily cruise to work or to hang out. I feel the KW/ST will meet my need since it can drop lower than my Tein but can compensate for bad ride by having 2 springs on each shock. Maybe you should look into KW or ST XTA

None related. It's nice reading some of these comments and getting to know the market a bit better
Que? The rear has more threads/room than the front, at least on mine when I had street flex. Also now have RCE T2's (based on KWs) and don't see a lot more drop-ability than the Teins I had. You should have room to remove the gap on your Teins as they are...
