Default please help a noob out

i have an 07 tc and have been reading through all the posts about springs and which are best... i've decided i want tein but i don't know if i want the h tech or the s tech... can someone explain how big of a difference in performance the h techs have over the s techs? i heard the s techs you lose performance. sorry if this is a repost... i couldn't find anything comparing the two for performance

if you have read the sticky topics above. apparently youll get the best performance dropping 1.5". and since you've mentioned about springs only, any 1.5 drop should be good such as TRD or Eibach. Unless you wanna feel your shocks getting SHOCKED from the pavement, thats why 1.5" is MEDIOCRE.

with the teins, i would pick H-techs, but any 1.5 drop is better then those. i just bought TRD springs for $165 at TRDSPARKS.com 3 days ago and they just came in fast! they are located is SC so lucky for me! my friend has spring compressor so these springs are going in tomorrow!

As of results with lowering springs; its better handling, reduced body-roll (not totally significant as rear sways), and it LOOKs good! also acceleration from start is more stabled because the car doesnt spring back as much when you gas it.

either you want performance from the h-techs or good looks with the s-techs.
