i have teins on my ride right now. i like em a lot but as you know from my other post, im looking to upgrade. i think you should just invest in some coils but if you already bought shocks than i suggest go with the teins...

To put springs in, you're looking at anywhere between 150-200...You might be able get away with paying 125 at some places as well...

To the OP, if both springs give you the drop you're looking for, I will suggest the Tein S techs. I am actually in the market of buying tein s techs and Tokico HP shocks. I hear its a good set up.
I've also heard some..lets say not so good reviews about the skunk2 springs. Saying that generally you should get these only if you're taking the car on track. And not to use it if you're driiving everyday. Much rougher ride than the S techs would give. (then again, anything other than stock would probably give you a rougher ride)...Perhaps someone else can give some insight?

Also, anyone know where I can find a set of Blues and s tech springs?

i acually just installed my skunk2 springs, and i love them so far. i went with the skunk2 springs because the s techs dont drop the car enough in the back for the look i wanted (skunk2's are 2.2rear, 2.5 front) and tein's are somthing like 1.7 in the rear. if your looking for tokico hp shocks call up high speed performance he can get them for you for under 400$ i beleave.

Thanks!
Yea thats one thing i dont like about the s techs..1.7 rear and 2.4 front...
The skunk2's are pretty much 2.2-2.4 all around..which straightens out the vehicle..

I'll call high speed now to see what i can get the package for...Since i need control arms anyways, might as well stick with an adjustable one...so investing in a camber kit wont be "out of the way" for me...thanks for the link...
