How aggressive are the Tein S. tech Spring ?
Just like the title says !! I have tokico blues, with crappy coil overs. I am looking for something that is going to improve handling alot and have a better ride quality. I know that Tein makes good stuff, it seems as though that these springs are more of a slight improvement over stock rather than an aggresive spring. Any input would be great !! Thanks in advance !!

i'm in the same boat, tokico blues with shitty coil overs, and the ride is horrible, especially since the front tokico struts are leaking something.

You are kind of right about the springs they are not really that aggressive. They don't give you a real low drop, but they do improve handling way better then stock. They are worth it considering they are under $200, not a bad investment at all.

I have them and they are good daily driving spring that you want for the look. Soft and the drop is just right but maybe a little more is nicer 
I haven't felt a handling difference since I don't drive it hard at all but daily driving they are perfectly fine.

Re: How aggressive are the Tein S. tech Spring ? (Alan Wil)
well i dont know if this will apply. i have them on my mitsu lancer and they work great.most people would even say they are better than eibach (on lancer that is.)
handling made a lot of improvement on my lancer. no body roll.i dont know about crx though. buy it and give us an update. im thinking of putting those in my crx. i dont really like coilovers thats why. spring perform better than coil over.my .02cent

Shocks will make more of an improvement then springs..
get some good shocks..
PS tokico blues are not good shocks if your looking for performance

Re: How aggressive are the Tein S. tech Spring ? (Outsane)
I have some and a set of Illuminas' waiting to be installed on my hatch. From what i heard they're pretty soft but perfect for daily driving, but everyones' opinion is different on what is too soft or hard regarding spring rates. Heres some info from their website.

Re: How aggressive are the Tein S. tech Spring ? (SASIR2)
based on the information provided, the springs are rated at 269 lb front and 123 rear, which is near the stock values. if you are looking into some stiffer springs these are not them.
i like my progress at 325f/275r
