Tein or H&R?

Ok after looking through many pages. I was wondering which most prefer. I haven't had any experience with Tein's, but I've heard good things about them. And I know H&R are very good.

its all preference
I chose H&Rs because Id rather have a nice drop and appreciate ride quality. H&Rs are known for their comfort.

As for the teins, most people say they are happy with them, some just cuz they dont want to be in denial. I just cant see a ride not being to harsh looking that slammed.

Looks so dam good though...

to the newbie, just chill, what limsandy was basically trying to say is that there are numerous threads on this subject... just search and look,
and this isn't a debate... Teins dominate, not to put the ones with H&Rs down...

I have Teins on Tokicos, and yes the drop is the shiett, and no it doesn't look slammed.. and yes the ride quality is good...

No denial... the drop is good and so is the ride...

P.S. a comment about the drop, i wished the Teins would have dropped a tad bit more, just a little more, like .25 more in the front not the back...

97GSTAT,

no offense to you, man. I'm not trying to start a flame war or anything. But I'm sure you'll find your answer if you had been checking the 5th forum for a few days. I find similar questions almost every day.


Peace,

If search was working, I could understand...but..

To answer your question (this is not first hand experience but just reading) here is the dillio on the .Org so far:

H&R
Ride comfort better than stock
Handling improved
Drop is not that much - is uneven and looks VERY much like stock


Teins
Ride comfort slightly harsher than stock (after the 1st week. 1st week it is aweful)
Drop is low (not "slammed") and almost dead even (only .25" difference)
Handling is drastically better than stock

Having said that, I must reiterate that these are just peoples’ opinions (well, a lot of peoples’) and not mine. I'm probably gonna go with the Tein / GR2 combo. Most people say this is the best.
