Spring Opinions

I recently purchase Tokico HP (Blues) for my fronts and rears (they are in the mail). I want to buy some lowering springs. I was looking at Tein S Tech's because they lower the car the most. However, I haven't read any reviews on them from anyone here. What is everyone's opinion on this? Should I go with the Teins? What would be some other options that would give me a nice drop? The lower, the better for me, but I am still worried about ride quality.

Might give my site a look for general info. Also, there are many threads on this so be sure to search around.

^that's the site i used when choosing my strut/spring combo. it's definitely worth taking a good look at.


i can't say for sure, but i would think S-techs are too low of a drop for the HPs since they're just oem replacement struts. i think with a drop that low you may blow the strut and tokico won't warranty it if the drop is more than 1.5".
