Sprints or Tein S Tech?

I've got Tokiko Illuminas sitting in my garage right now. Question is what should I pair them with. I really want a big drop so its between these two unless another spring has an equal drop in height. Which one of these springs has the better ride comfort?(I know both will be bad). Also do I need motivational rear mounts with a drop this big?

IMO sprints have a better ride than the stechs. But the s techs lower the front a bit more like 3/4" more than sprints. They both sit high on the back.

I'm running Tein S Techs on AGXs in the front and GR-2s in the rear. Ride is not bad at all and the drop is almost dead even, just a hair taller in the rear. 1000% improvent over Intrax with same shock/strut combo.

I would have to say go with the S-Techs .... I got an honest 2.25" drop on the front and 1.75" drop on the rear..... still adjusting my AGX's so can't comment on the ride yet.... but body roll is a thing of the past......

i like my sprint but it was really high in the rear before i had my 100lb system in the trunk. now it is pretty even. i think that the tein s are a bit softer spring that sprint. a friend of mine in town has the tein s and the drop is really similar. and seeing how he rides it seems his springs arnt that much softer than mine. i think if you have a heavy system get sprints or you will sag in the rear with the tein s. if not get tein s and you will have a pretty even drop

here is a pic of my car and my friends as you can see the drop is pretty similar.

I have Sprint/AGX and am completely satisifed with the ride quality.
