Cusco vs Tein coilovers

New to coilovers, anyone can shed some info on which is a best buy between cusco or tein coilovers?

I have a 2018 fit, its my daily car, wanting to improve on the comfort part and lower the car.

pros and cons of each brand.

Thanks in advance.

long story short:
Tein is less expensive and more comfortable
Cusco is more expensive, adjustable and "track like" aka uncomfortable

cusco street zero a blue's are fine on the streets and even light track duty. 40 clicks damping adjustable.

tein flex z i can vouch yes for more comfort oriented if thats the main concern. judging by the spring rates

one of my fren has tanabe x kyb coilovers on his gk5. full load will bottom out with 2finger ride height. has at 27 clicks

I've been googling and randomly searching for months on comfortable coilovers for the gk5. Tein seems to have the best rep. Is it true that coilovers made for the ge8 are 1:1 for the gk5?

I installed the Tein springs on my GK

Wish it was a little lower, but the ride is good.
