S. Techs, by far the best. The other springs either lower the car too much and/or they don't have enough springrate.

all personal pref. You can't ask these questions, you'll get a different answer from anyone.

Need to decide on the kind of ride you want, drop you want.

If all were the same and we were going on company, as of late TEIN has been too mass produced and the quality on their last couple batches has been less than up to par. I would go with Eibach since I've seen Neuspeeds wear down rather fast.

I just recently got the Tanabe springs with a 1.5" drop but my car still looks high. I should have gotten TEIN's springs with 1.7" drop but i guess i can always get coilovers. A lot of of my friends has TEINs and they like it better.

Even though you didn't ask I would say skunk2. My friend has them on his and you can't even tell but you can hug a corner. If i wasn't going to get coilovers for racing I would have gotten the skunk2.

Yah great for the money but the thing is you pay for what you buy. The eibachs won't end up loosing its ride height and sag like the neuspeeds. Neuspeeds tend to sag after awhile which means ride quality will quickly decrease. Unlike eibachs which retains its ride height regaurdless of how many years has past never looses its ride quality and won't sag lower that what its supposed to be at.

I've had pretty much all of the springs you are asking about (or driven a car with them) and I went with the Teins.

Get what you like, but if you *truly* want a spring that handes well and lowers about the perfect amount...you'll get the Teins. The others are more for looks and springrate is so whacked out it isn't funny.

Do not get Tein S techs, they are to soft! I know I have them. Depends on how low you want. Progress are good, eibach too.
