I have the medium springs on my R along with Bilstein shocks, and the ride isn't harsh, as the tein's are progressive rate, and they go from extremely soft to pretty damn stiff for a lowering spring. Actually I don't think the progressive rate does too much, since if you look at the springs on the car, the upper coils (the soft ones) are all touching each other anyways, so it would seem that you are riding on the stiffer coils. The springs drop about 1.25" from stock on this car, and it is a nice stance, and they handle well in long sweepers, but quick transitions it does seem a little unsettled. All I know about the soft springs is that their rate starts out stiffer than the mediums but does not have as high a max rate. Hope that helped?

I have Tein S-Tech mediums matched with ITR shocks.

Work well for everyday street driving. Not effective when pushed to the limit.

Good for looks, awesome even 1.5 inch drop all around.
