Default Spy vs. Progress or Tein springs

Can anyone who has ridden Spy springs and switched to another brand (preferably Progress or Tein) tell me which is better? I've been riding Spy springs for over a year now but I'm wondering (hoping) that there is something else that is a more comfortable ride. I'd even be willing to go with less of a drop, but I don't want to go any more than what I currently have (which for those who don't know is 2+ inches). I have 215/35 tires on 18" wheels and TRD struts/shocks (I've ordered Koni struts, I may order the rear shocks in the future) and I don't want to ride a larger tire/smaller wheel combo. Please don't respond if you've only driven in an xB with only one brand of spring, I want to hear from those people who have tried a couple if not several brands. Thanks!

Oh and if there is a better ride out there, I will sell my Spy springs if anyone's interested.

I love TEIN. They make some killer nice springs. Both the H-Tech and S-Tech are great options...

I'm trying to locate someone to purchase the H techs and a new set of adjustable struts.... I'd recommend the H techs to you as they have a "nicer" spring rate

i have had spy's on my xB since august of '03. It rides great. the stiffness may be the TRDshocks/struts.

Yeah, I hate to switch to another spring if these are just as good or better. I've got a set of Koni struts on the way. If I'm not satisfied, I may get the Koni shocks as well. Thanks for the input, Randode.
