Torn between Maxspeed and Tein H-tech

I plan to drop my car soon, but cannot decide between the 2 brands. Both are popular and well liked, both have about the same drop and comfort level. Thoughts?

The pics I've seen of Maxspeeds look like there's hardly any drop at all.

At least with my H-Techs it's noticeable. And the ride is tolerable, I dare say it won't be much if any worse than the Maxspeeds.

Also, not that big a deal, but, the H-Techs include coil spring isolators already on the springs, whereas you'd have to reuse them on the Maxspeeds.

Ya, I just looked on Housecor's site again and noticed that the Maxspeed springs barely drop the height.

Go with Maxspeeds - 1.4" drop is quite noticable and you won't ruin your ride quality.

I have H-Techs and love them. With stock struts no less. The ride is better and more comfortable than it was stock. Can't comment on maxspeeds as I've never used them.

thx....i bought mine here on the org. Redlinemax had a thread titled TEIN something or other sale(i believe it's still going) with a great shipped price. Great service and fast delivery as well.

edit: forgot to add that the thread I'm speaking on is in the Group Deal/Sponsors section.
