Tein vs. H&R
I'm trying to decide btn purchasing Tein S.Tech's or the H&R Sport springs for my '00 Civic EX sedan.
Probably going to pair them with some Tokico Blues. I was hoping you guys could post up some pics of your drop with either of these setups so I can get an idea of how it'll look. Opinions on which setup you all prefer is welcome as well. Thanks for the help guys!!!

H&R all the way. Tein Stechs have a very soft spring rate.

i drove a car with the tein springs and the car felt kind of flat on its feet...
it did not have the crisp, tossable, and linear feel that the h&r springs had on another car i drove...
(corolla - tein, saturn wagon - h&r)
while the spring rates were definitely stiffer than stock with the tein, the quality of ride, roll, and feel were much better with the h&r springs...
my educated suggestion would be to go with h&r...
i believe many of my fellow sho members would agree...

i was also going to go with the tein s-tech's but then i read somewhere that they are on the softer side so thats what prompt me to go with the H&R and i love them.. but if i do change to tein i would go with the ss coilover setup.
