I love my Tein S-techs. I think they are more performance oriented springs and most ones for looks. They give it a nice stance when lowered also. I am pleased with them. I would love to test them out on some more twisty roads but everytime I'm driving there is always traffic and everything.

I would say Tein or Goldline, both are great springs.

I don't have experience with all the springs here except Hotchkis Tuning.

They are pretty good.

Besides that, a few sport compact car magazines, R/T, C/D, etc have all tested the Hotchkis Tuning cars and were very impressed.
