i did a search and found some info, but not quite enough to base my decision on. iwthin the next week i should be ordering my springs, ive narrowed it down to s-techs or sportlines. i want something stiff, i dont care too much about ride quality as long as my *** doesnt hurt when i get out of the car. i also dont want something too low, i have a problem with smacking parking stops (im not a bad driver, so no comments please, lol) and dont need to TOTALLY **** my car up, lol. im going with kyb agx shocks too. and most likely will be ordering some susp tech swaybars (anyone know a good place to get these?).

does anyone know which spring is stiffer? I'd prefer the stiffest spring made, thats under $220.

I have S-techs on my car. im happy with them, but it doesnt seem enought to me. I will probably end up selling them and get a set of HE's

well thay are lower than thay state that thay are. and up front looks good, its just the rear is a bit high for me.

thay are stiff enough for a daily driver, with there 3.4 kg rate. but i want the 8.4 rate of the HE coilovers. its about personal preference. =)

Tein springs with the AGX shocks are a great combo. That's what I plan on ordering when I raise the funds.
