TEIN H-TECH or EIBACHS?

I'm ready to buy springs but I'm not sure if I should get the Tein H-Tech or the Eibachs. I'm looking for better handling but I don't want a harsh ride. Also, I don't want to drop my car to much...either the 1.3 or 1.6. These are gonna be used in combination with Tokico Illumina's..

So, Tein H-tech or Eibach and why?

Thanks a lot

Speaking from experience, Eibachs are harsh. I switched to H&R for better ride quality.

I agree - go H-techs. However, a caveat: They drop the front a little lower than the back. This is the opposite of the Eibachs which leave the front looking slightly lifted.

Shogunsc4 is running H-techs: http://www.cardomain.com/id/shogunsc4

I would much rather have the front dropped more than the rear, always easier to have a sub or cinderblock in the trunk to keep the back lower and even with the front Can't wait to get my H.Tech's installed, Shogunsc4's drop looks very nice!
