Springs

I'm beefing up my suspensions and getting tokico illumina's

but as for springs i'm not sure what to get

stuck inbetween
nuespeed sport
tein sport (1.7" drop)
and h & R sport
or eibach (sport?)
all around the same drop

whats your opinions and what you have.. what are advantages of one over another?

for my EF

for your EF assuming your just using it on the street... then take each name place on dart board blind fold yourself and throw... you'll be happy with whatever you pick...
'
however if just for the street get springs that have progressive spring rates in them (changes as it compresses) you'll be more comfortable..

if I'm wrong and this is a street/track setup your looking for then come out to an autocross and ask the guys there some of them have tried dozens of spring combinations

yes it is mostly street use

as for your race springs.. i believe they are too low for my likings.. i do'nt want to bottom out all the time

so if it wont make much of a difference.. i'm leaning towards h & r sports or tein springs

both basically same price

does tein make a good spring?

I just put on H&R sports with KYB AGX shocks. Its a nice ride. Not perfect, but hey, it's not a stock setup anymore. It is stiffer but it handle WAAAAY better. I can accelerate through corners nicely. Can't wait to get my rims with some good rubber and strut bars too. It'll be sweet.

I recommend the H&R's but i think the shocks are what will make the difference in ride.

I don't know if that helps at all..
