I really wanted the factory suspension but it only had a 1/2 to 3/4 drop. I was looking for the comfort of the Aspec but with a slightly lower drop, around 1 inch. I settled on the Tein H Tech Springs and I must say it was the right choice for me. It dropped the car 1 inch all the way around and the ride quality is the same as the Aspec, firm but still comfortable. The height went from 26 1/2 to 25 1/2 measured at the wheelwell. I had Marcus at Healtoe Auto install them today. The install took about 2 hours. He did a great job and knew exactly what to do. I would recommend him 100% to TLers in SoCal thinking about getting some suspension work done. Great guy. I am still riding on stock OEMs Dealer chromed wheels and they fit just right in the wheelwells. I had a 35 mile drive home after the install and I could tell right away that the car was holding the road better. I plan to add a comptech RSB soon to complete the suspension. The best part was the cost, it's about 1/2 of the Aspec suspension, installed.
I try to post some pixs tomorrow if anybody is interested.

nice ride!!
don't like the ride of the h-techs? i'd like to stay close to the stock ride and i think the eibach springs do. i'm suprised eibach is the only type-s specific spring on the market!

ride is pretty smooth. i have a feeling that stock springs are firmer and gives more bouncier ride comapred to h-tech springs.
