Tein vs Progress Springs

Hey i'm kinda in the market for a ride height look. was thinking about about putting back in my stock SL rear springs but was encouraged not to. and thanks to those who told me not to. buh now i'm in a bit of a pickle.

i like the fact that the tein s-tech springs that just came out are a little bit higher than the progress lowering springs. and i know tein has a much better and well known name than progress. so my question is does anybody know how well these tein s-tech springs are? is the s-tech springs any good? does anybody know how much more stiffer these springs are than stock?

i've been trying to contact tein with no reply. and i've been searching the web for an answer with no luck. can anybody help me? thanks

hmmmmmmmm I guess no company wants to go out for all looks...what I mean by that is a flush gap comparison from front and back.

Progress is a little too low up low, but close to perfect up front, tein is perfect in rear, but too high up front.

If they were to go just for looks, then the handling characteristics would be sacrificed.

Just get the Tein coil-overs with EDFC

the front any back are only .3" difference...i don't think thats that big of a difference. buh my only point is that tein's have a lot more of a name and i would think quality is also better. buh they still haven't contacted me about their performance numbers on the springs.
