Everyone's pic gonna look a lil different because they are coils and everyone height is a lil different. All three u list will get you so low that it's almost undriveable. The only thing the tein has that the other 2 don't is dampening.

Here is mine on F&F II

I've had both the basics and F&F II coils, they are actually very similar in ride quality, the basics have the stiffer spring rates but they also dont have the dampening. Both IMO are pretty smooth. The F&F are almost exactly comparable to the BC coils as far as how they ride. I would go FnF simply because they have the dampening and you can go lower.

I've done a lot of research over the last 2 months on coilovers, and the most highly recommended coils in your price range are the BC Racing coils. I have had several vendors as well recommend them over the Megan and FF. I have no personal experience with them so take my comments for what they're worth. Curious to see other's opinions on this comparison.
