So.. in YOUR opinion...

Which tC lowering springs ride the best?
Are the cheapest?
Have the lowest drop?
Are the best quality?

Any input is much appreciated

I have s-techs so I can't complain about the others.. But everyone has their own kind of satisfaction..

As for me, the s-techs are treating me really nicely.. but can be a pain at times when it comes to big dips and those huge a$$ bumps. I got my springs for a whopping 50 bucks with free installation since my best friend works at a local shop. But you can get good prices on eBay for 150 including shipping. I believe the s-techs have the lowest drop at 2.4 in the front and 2.05 in the rear.. according to Tein's website. And Tein has a good reputation for suspension.. but think again since the lower the drop, the faster the wear of your struts. So you have a couple of options.. either to have tein s-techs on the OEM struts and save up for struts when they go out.. or just settle with the typical TRD drop and not worry about the struts for a while.. No matter what, you're going to have to replace the struts once the springs are replaced. Hope this helps.. if anymore questions, just PM me or AIM me @ marksthasp0t. good luck!
