Default Help me choose the springs. (Tein S. Tech or H&R?)

Hello CL! I am looking for springs to drop my car.
I am looking at H&R and Tein S. Tech. I searched alot and looked many pictures but I just can't decide which spring I should get. I am leaning more towards to Tein S. Tech but please help me decide. Thanks alot guys.

I like my H&R. Teins are good too. I think I would be scraping way more if I had Teins though. I barely get away with H&R.

I recommend coilovers, but if your intent on springs, go H&R. I had them, absolute best drop FOR SPRINGS. I owned H&R’s and liked them FOR SPRINGS, but I changed out for coilovers. Better ride & better drop with coilovers.

Wow nice~~ That looks sweet!! That vs-xx is soooo sexy!
Maybe i'll go with coilovers later but now I just want to get springs for now. Thx for the help guys. I decided to go with H&R.
Hmm anyone know good shop that installs wheel + tire + spring + exhaust + lip in southern california? (I live in Rowland heights so anywhere around L.A. or O.C. area is ok to me)

i also recommend Tommy at musicbox. He will hook u up n knows what he is doing. He will also recommend an alignment shop if you need an alignment done after you install the springs.
