I was going with H&R Sports springs because many have recommended it on this forum, but my friend tells me that Tein were made for Hondas and Acuras. I just wanted to see if there were a big difference other than price.

My S-techs were a bit lower than my friends H&R Sports. Don't know about the ride of H&R's, but my Teins bottom out easily because of the rather drastic 2" drop on OEM shocks. They rebound quickly only over very small bumps in the road.
Please don't get just springs. All it's going to do is lower the car. Handling gains are not that great. Get shocks too or coilovers.

i was thinking tein ss coilovers but right now out of my budget with school and all

just a set of springs that will lower your car on stock shocks is going to screw ur shocks pretty fast. if you're gonna get some aftermarket shocks and springs, it'll come pretty close to a set of coil overs, which you can adjust your right height, and a little more money you can control your spring rates.

Yea I hear you there. I'm coming up on 1 year on my Tein springs & OEM shocks. Still going strong. (Knock on wood) It's longer than I wanted to keep them before getting coilovers, but other things came up... Like CL-S wheels, a new bike, and a life. I would just set some money aside in case your shocks blow and you need to replace them.

i think i might just hold off on the springs and just save up for the coilovers

HR makes the best springs in the world. If its just springs your after id go H&R

I would choose H&R over Tein, and I would choose the race springs over the sports. The race drop is so much better looking IMO (I have Eibachs and the race springs drop is almost the same as mine).

I'd have to agree. Although I'm switching over to Neuspeed for a lower drop.

I've tried the S-techs, Eibach pro kit, and even Vogtland springs....

it's all up to your taste. They all ride similar.

H&R's sports are really smooth especially paired up with the bilstein shocks.

thanks for the input...i was looking at doing the H&R sports with bilstein shocks b/c others suggested it

Just get the H&R race instead of the Neuspeed race

after trying all those springs why didnt you just give coilovers a chance??

HR is always awesome stuff..... but thas not to say tein or eibach would be a disappointment.

Love my bilsteins...that is why.

Actually looking for some Zeal B6 rights now...that or the Air ride suspension.

I only want a 1" drop. How would Tokico Blue HP struts/shocks and Comptech sport springs work for me?

recommend H&R OE with the Tokico Blue HP struts/shocks.

Smooth ride but the drop won't be as noticeable.
