I'm wondering which spring will perform better. I know the teins are 1.5 in the front and 1" and the sportlines are 1.5" all around. I would thinkthe tein would handle better cause there lower in the front which means more downforce. but the sportlines are 50 dollars more.

the sportlines are 1.5 all around like you said...the tiens are 1.5 in front also..no lower.. the sportlines have a higher spring rate, which makes them feel stiffer.. stiffer=less body roll

A lowered car doesn't add downforce.
It would lower the center of gravity, which will help a bit for body roll. Spring rate will be a bigger factor, though, when you are only talking about a difference of a half an inch. |

no i was saying since the front end will be a bit lower(.5') then the back then there would be more downforce on the Teins. vs the Sportlines which are 1.5 all around meaning the front end isnt lower at all.

well i already purchased the teins, for $138 with shipping and everyting off of ebay. from kurmo motoring(i probably spelt that wrong). i hope i didnt make the wrong decision. but i have gotten many recommendations for them too. so i think i'll be fine.
