Default Nuespeed or TEIN

Doing the suspension thing this weekend. Nuespeed has the 1.75 front drop and 1.5 rear in their sport springs and TEIN S TECH is a little less of a drop. Who makes a better spring and do I have to upgrade my shocks and struts because I am trying to aviod that.

Are coilovers worth it I have heard horror stories of them shifting while you drive and constantly having to fix them

between neuspeed and tein i'd go with the tein. Though bottom line it doesnt really matter. Both are good brands. Sometimes depending on application the tein wont look like it dropped much at all, so that's a good reason to go with neuspeed.

I'd go with H&R sport.

Between the two, Neuspeed for sure.

I'm looking to go a similar route, tein s techs w/tokico illumina's. From what I've read up on them, it seems to be a good DD drop. Not too low and a comfortable ride, which is what i'm looking for. The only question I have is if I run 16's on this drop, will it rub?

On second thought, most tein drops it's hard to tell whether or not you dropped it at all.

Neuspeed ftw.

or better yet, H&R sport.

Haha, It seems like Ive been pushing tein a lot lately. All I know is when I talked to Tein, they said they made the s tech ot be used with stock shocks. I've heard a lot of good reviews about them

Neuspeed without a question, I haven't been impressed with a single Tein product I have owned other than the hood struts on my STi (which I got for free, so they were a good bang for buck convenience mod).

Right now I'm at stock height.

But a simple archived search in the appearance and cosmetic forum would net you at least 50 results with pictures.
