Tein Stech/Htech vs H&R Sport Springs...which one?

Well I've been researching and everyone is going with the H&R Sport springs. I'm looking for a drop like the H&R Race springs, but I also want to be able to drive it daily and keep the stock struts. Can anyone tell me a little more about the STECH's and HTECH's, compaired to the H&R's?

Summary:
I want a lower ride than the H&R Sport but a not too harsh....should I go with Tein STECH?

I've got the S.tech's. Ride isn't too harsh and the drop was about 1.3-1.4 inches after they settled.

Yeah, I love the drop, but the ride for every day....idk...and if I decide to go with 19's or 20's it's gonna kill me I think.

With any drop you risk premature wear and/or damage to the stock strut. Some have done OK with H&R Sport (1.4") and the Pro-Kit (1").

The more you lower it, the more likely you'll have a problem. So if you're looking for a drop equal to H&R Race it's something to consider.

I'm an H&R Sport fan, but can only compare to stock. I know they've run well the few months I've had 'em and they are easily comfortable enough as a daily driver.

What about the "Eibach Springs - Pro-Kit" Drop: front/rear 1.0/1.0 it should be comfortable enough as a daily driver.
