PIC REQ: SSM TL Dropped on Tein S-Techs

Im having trouble filtering through the search results, anyone please help me out. Im thinking about getting s-techs because they are cheap and are locally available. Please descibe the ride quality if your using stock shocks since that is what i'll be most likely doing due to funds.

Yeeeeeaaaah mayne, I can concur with this dude.

You may notice a little more "TL Sag" in the rear but don't fret- THIS IS NORMAL!

I know the S-Techs are notorious for sagging in the rear but I am curious how many finger gap is it in the front and rear after the springs settle? If anyone could share that I would really appreciate it, I am thinking of going from H&R to Tein...I've heard the Eibach are way to stiff.

Thanks...do you know much about the Eibachs for our car? I bought some off ebay but I've heard that they are very stiff (from other car forums) and I am not one for the stiff ride. I am contemplating selling them.
