Tein S-Tech vs H&R Sport

Wassup Guys & Gals. well im looking to finally lower my TL this month (b-day present to myself) after i get some body work done (stupid fender bender). but ive been doing alot of research and i cant decided between tein s-tech and h&r sport springs. seems like the population here is split between the springs i wanted some feedback on ur experience with springs (comfort, handling, etc) and which is best for your buck. alil extra info: i have a 03 TL-P with 03 type s wheels i may change to 18s in time. prolly add OEM kit. also i plan to keep my stock shocks for awhile cuz the car has under 29k miles. thanks for ur input.

Hey bro, congrats on the bday, im sure you will love either drop. I got some s techs from my friend but decided to sell them because i knew i would for sure have to get a camber kit with them since the drop is soo low. I just recently installed my sports and i absolutely love them! The drop is great, even though i wouldnt mind going a LITTLE lower, but the ride is still somewhat smooth except for real bumpy places. The cornering is real sick, i can take turns going like 30 and 40 and not feel a thing. So overall i might choose the sports cuz u may luck out and not need a camber kit until a year passes or so. Plus the sports seem to be much more in circulation than the s techs and that is always a plus for buying in the black market, re-selling and if you have any problems. Hope that helped a little.

H&R's FTW. Had the S-techs for a while...good ride but I like my H&R sports better. pair em up with Bilsteins shocks and you got a good combo.

thanks for the input i think ive decided on the H&Rs. i like the drop its aggressive but not too low. i was worried with s-tech id must likey need a camber kit which id rather hold off on if possible. plus the H&Rs give me some flexiblity for future mods like larger rims and kit. cant wait to make this purchase been sitting high for a year now.

ive been contemplating this same issue myself. i really dont want to go too low cuz winter here is crap, but i cant stand the gap anymore. i have a 99 tl-p with 05 tsx 17" wheels. i dont know if i will have to get a camber kit and/or cut tabs if i went lower.

btw sorry for the thread hijack
