try tein H-Techs. I switched from s-techs to h-techs. They're awesome. Good ride, not too stiff and still handles awesome. About a 1.2 inch drop.

S-tech's are one of the softer springs available. They are not really all that stiff.

1.5 inch? thats not much of a drop for an EG, will still have some wheel gap. i had a 2.25 inch drop with 15s at one point and never rubbed then i had 14s which r in the pic. i drove that thru blizzards and piles of snow no problem (with snow tires of course) never got stuck i get stuck more with my ej8 with a milder drop for some reason... oh plus i cleared speed bumps no prob they were neuspeed race springs, stiff, loved them. sorry about crappy cell phone quality pic

that's what I was going to say, S-tech's stiff? I went from the tokico's with the blue struts and red springs, not the lumina's with the white adjustable struts and they were way stiffer than the tien's huge difference in the front. they were only 1.25" drop.

I personally like the teins on the tokico's I ran last year, going to full coils this year, hope I like 'em better but won't know till I drive it, time will tell.

teins are good for a street driven build tho cuz they're progressive, not good for track but if you don't want that stiff but you do want a nice stance these are a good spring for the price.

S-techs are a little stiff. not bad. also it depends on the struts you have. ex. i have kyb agx and these struts have 4level dampering. on softest setting [i assume close to stock] they are quite soft and comfortable. on the hardest setting they do get a little stiff.
Dustin i thought you didnt like coilovers? remember talking to you about suspension when iwas getting my struts/springs and you convinced me not to get coils lol.
