Default Springs

Yea I no this is discussed frequently i appolgize, i nornally would search for this but dont have the time right now. Anyways, in the very near future i will be make a purchase on one of these springs. Ive look at both and i understand what each can do. Now i pretty much am looking for a general opinion. I will be running these on stock struts for alittle while before i get new ones. What i am looking for in the spring is a decent handling gain. The Teins have a slightly higher spring rate while the Tanabe's are in comparison in the ozone layor. The car is mainly a DD but i do enjoy a good handling car. (im spoiled from the amazingness of the s2k) I do track it a couple times a year but thats about it. The prices of both them are within about 50 bucks so thats no biggie. So yeah just any opinions, or reviews from people who have either would be fantastic. Thanks for your time guys.

i just didn't like the fact that the tein s-tech box says "stylish spec" on it.

I had s-techs on stock shocks before I got my flexes. They rode great and handled well on my DD. I just decided I wanted to go lower.

I have Tein S-Techs now and they ride great and handle very well. No regrets watsoever, especially given the price.
