Tokico Springs vs tein h-tech springs

I cannot decide which spring to go with. I will be pairing either choice with Tokico HP (blues) struts. From a drop perspective the tokico is said to do 1.5" front and rear. the h-tech is 1.6" front and 1.2" back. I have an automatic and a system in the trunk, if that matters. Price is the same for either choice as well. How do I choose?!

EDIT: I will be pairing either spring with Tokico Illuminas now lol

I was hoping to get inputs from users with both setups. Ive done some researching and couldnt find anything that compares these two exactly. All other threads compared either one of my choices to a completely different spring. I guess I'd be more interested in knowing how the handling and ride quality feels when comparing these two springs

Do you want the 1.5 all around or the 1.6 - 1.2?
That's how you decide

Ride and handling is about the same. The struts you couple them with will play a larger role on ride and handling. Want a nice smooth ride, put Tokico struts/shocks in. Want a firm ride, use KYB.

Yeah, I've had the Tokico Illumina strut/spring setup and loved it. The ride and ride height were both pleasing, although I rode with the Illuminas set in at 2 for the front and 3 for the back.
