Coilover Choice

I'm looking to buy some coilovers for the car..

I've narrowed it down, can anybody give me any information on how these perform if you have experience with them ?

I've heard the Teins give a very hard ride? - Not heard much about the APEXi coilovers though..

I've asked a local mechanic today and only had a 2 minute look but he said he thinks it may be the water pump or the alternator bearings.. Has anybody had ...
