Tein S-tech Springs: 1.4 front 0.9 rear

Or Tom's XDynamic Springs: 1.75 front 1.5 rear




I want the low drop Tom's offer. But I'm not sure if they're real Tom's or knock offs.

And Tein... You can't go wrong with Tein.

Help me decide.

with a lower drop, i'm assuming it's made with a stiffer grade spring and will probably be stiffer than the teins i'm assuming.. when i had teins the front drop was nice but the rear didn't drop enough imo. but the teins had a good comfortable ride while handling well in the turns. but they weren't stiff or low enough for my needs so i switched over.
so i think i would go with the TOM'S springs on this one.

I'd actually prefer the Tom's myself...

And I did find a website that sells them...

But I'm not sure if they're real deal.

I'd like the lower drop and stiffer spring rating.

My best guess is that those Tom springs are made for real performance meaning stiffer spring rates, you'll be stiff bouncing on every bump. If you want the lower drop and the comfort, I have Intrax springs now at 1.8" drop all around.
