KYB/Tein's: The right choice?

Have narrowed my choices for new suspension down to these two...

The KYB shocks with Tein springs or the MeisterR coilovers.

Have been leaning towards the KYB/Tein choice as it keeps the car more OEM and possibly better for a daily driver. But want to know if the drop in height is an issue. Does the car scrap all the time? Do the wheels catch the arches?

Or is the coilover route better i.e the MeisterR's?

I would opt for the meisters, they're future proof. I had lowering springs first off, later on bought an aftermarket bumper, and it scraped. So had to go the meister route.
Plenty of adjustability..

Obviously they might not be for you and dependant on future plans, might not be needed, but I preferred mine over the lowering springs.

I know this may not help much immiadietly, but have you had chance to try the diff set ups in others cars.

I'm on the kyb/tein combo and very happy. Regards grounding, that depends on the bumps in the road your way. Not all are created equally.
I clear mine round here. But there is one, if I have a passenger can touch down. No passenger. Fine.

Also as above are you tracking or daily. I went for stock as no intention of track work and I like my comfort. From many threads on here I believe the springs on coilys are firmer than stock. (happy to be told I'm wrong)
its all in here somewhere.
