HKS S-Compact or Tein SS Coilovers

I am about to purchase coilovers for my GE, I can get the Tein, with New Factory Honda upper mounts for only $163 less that HKS with installed upper mounts any suggestions on which ones to choose, or which ones would you buy?

current exchange indicates 167,000 yen = $1,785 for the tein flex compact. i doubt youll fork over that much for a set of coilovers. i think $1,400 for the hks hipermax is bit overpriced.

in relation to the cars price and tuning potential the fit's coilovers should be no more than $1,200.

i wouldnt even mind slapping on $3,000 coilovers on a ap2, but for a fit.... i doubt $1,800 is easy.
