Blahhhhh Springs Question

Ok. So I've been trying to save up for the omni power coilovers for a while now, and its really hard for me to save up $650. So i guess i'm just gonna give in and temporarily buy some cheap shitty ebay springs. but my question is which kind would you recommend for durablilty, and which lower you the most? anyone with experience please help me out here.

heres 2 i'm considering...

if you go with the tiens, make sure they're genuine. I read somewhere recently that they're being counterfieted... really well as a matter of fact.

Check tien's website for more info on that...

and I'd probably go with the neuspeed race springs... my Eibach sportlines drop 1.75 supposedly... a bit lower would set it off perfectly
