Which are more comfortable? I heard that the jic suspension is very unforgiving. I dont want to rattle my insides to much but I want to cut some of the wheel gap

Do it. You will save time money in the long run by not having to go through a second install when your stock struts go bad.

Just to get some things straightend out.

The JIC + Tein coilover suspension is in a different league than a spring/strut combo.

I forget who here or at TN was on TRD's (eibach's) and stock struts for 40K miles, and they were fine; based on that i undertook that endevour and KNOCK ON WOOD, i'm still got at 10K miles on stocks and trd's myself. So its not a truly MUST to replace struts, but you'll need to replace them eventually. A lot of people here tell you to do it at once to save cost...so you do you own fesability query and decide whats more fesable to you!

Not if the owner doesn't know how to tune the suspensions.
