Tein H tech or S tech???

H tech 1.0-1.3
or
S tech 1.5-1.9

I've seen a couple of S techs in the classifieds but i need more info to clear my mind.

I like the look of the S techs but the 1.9 drop sounds a little bit to much.
I know that when installed it doesn't usually drop like what the manufacturer said i would. (a little off give or take) I would like to get the lowered look with out giving too much ride quality, since this will be for a daily driver (80km back and forth) under stock shocks.

anyone who has these springs on their car is welcome to give inputs on ride quality and styling.

just looking at springs this time. suggestion on other springs is also welcome?

thanks, your replies are very much appreciated.

the s techs are horrible around corners but give you the look you are looking for. I personally like H & R

I have the s-techs on my 93 si and they are softer and lower then the tokico's I had on my car. I've done alot to the car as far a suspension work goes so I don't mind the body roll I gain from the softer springs or the softer ride. They are muh better then stock for style and performance.

I've only had tokico's and tiens on my eg. H&R's are nice but very very stiff on every car I've driven with them. the tiens may not be the best springs on the market but for the price I like mine.

thanks for the replies looks like i might go with the S-tech for now. Im also considering the eibach pro-kit (1.2-1.5) springs as well.

nothing right now. all is stock. I'm just after looks with ride comfort. overall goal is to lower the car (considerable height) with out sacrificing too much ride quality and on a student budget (around the $300 price range).
