I prefer the S-techs from a personal standpoint, but the drop is very similar and don(pdm-racing) has a great reputation for dealing good products.

so..that doesnt help much, but if had both sets sitting in front of me, I'd grab the teins.-chet

One important note - the Whiteline set has a linear front and progressive rear setup.

S-techs are progressive in both front and rear.

Just because they are progressive all around does not mean that they are better for the car's handling. Whiteline explains in their website that they made progressive springrate for the rear and linear spring rates for the front because it will help the handling. The linear spring rate for the front is 157lb/in. The progressive spring rate for the rear is 107-178lb/in. I've heard lots of times that during a track event, instructors have told the driver to soften up the back because it was stiffer than the front. Whiteline probably nows this which is why the linear rate will initially keep the car front stiffer than the rear; that is until the rear reaches it's 178lbs/in max.
