Default Need opinions on springs

I need some feeback from people who are using Goldline or Tein STech springs and commute over 50 miles daily. How is the ride? I am sure the handling is better but I am really looking for the best comfort level. Any input would be great.
Thanks.

I don't commute that far but I have been on road trips with my Goldlines. Believe it or not, the ride is better than stock. I think its great. But, its also going to depend on your tire and wheel size.

We are running the stock alloys now and upgrading to 17's. Might shim them if we can find some with a 20 offset.

I run on 17" rims with 45 series tires. I commute over 75 miles a day and the TEIN STECHS are the best ride i have ever had out of all springs tried.

I'm running S Techs on my '05 TCM.

I believe the handling and ride is better than stock.

My buddy is using Goldlines, same with his.. Both are excellent springs..

Won't go wrong with either.

Thw warranty should not be at question if the installation is done correctly, but if a suspension problem occurs due to the springs there may be issues. One way to avoid the warranty problem is to have the dealer install the springs, but they normally charge quite a bit more than some other shops.
