Progress Vs Tein S-Tech

Through a freak accident I have acquired both a set of Tein S-Tech springs and a set of Progress Springs. Ive been using the Tein's for about a month now and I love they way they ride. I know that the Progress Springs will drop the car another .2 inches which I want but I am looking to know if they will stiffen the ride? My only complaint about the S-Techs is that sometimes they feel a bit soft for me.

So big question Progress or Tein?

Nice find for the 5th gen guys not 6th. The drops are different on the 6th gens. Eibach drops the most for us, Progress and then Tein.

Progress = lower drop than Tein. Bit of stiff ride. Handles great thought if get married with KYBs. Be careful if your roads are junk.

Tein sits not too low and nice even drop all around. Bit of soft ride as above member said. Very popular on Audi forum. However Audi & Nissan = two different animals.

I prefer Tein over Progress for my situation (snow & crappy roads.)
