Tokico with =?
ohh i see, couldn't tell, >_> colorblind for shades of red and green here >_>
the back looks almost as high as stock? doesn't the back end slide out a lot in corners? it seems the front is 2fingers and the back..er, 4? o.O (rb+blues)

Yes, they are blues with RB springs. The drop isn't very much. Now I think I'm running on eibachs on my TII (can't really tell, black springs look like... black springs, I got the car like that) and the drop is MUCH lower than with the RBs.
wow, that looks a lot like my car right now..>_>
except I can't tel what springs my car has, whether they are stock or aftermarket, but all i know is its about 1-2fingers in the front, and varies between 3-4fingers in the back.

I have Tokiko blues and RB Vert-specific springs on my daily-driver 88 Vert. If you have a street car that you drive (ahem) enthusiastically I highly recommend the combo.
You may need to by a camber adjuster after you install 'em, though. I need to put one on mine.

If you can find a set, this is a good choice:
I have Tokico blues and Eibach prokits on my S5 Vert. Good upgrade, firmer cornering, slightly more compliant over sharp impacts, tar strips expansion joints etc.
I recently bought tanabes and im pretty satisfied..well at least with the front, im waiting on a set of kybs so i can do what i shuldve done from the start
overall im happy with them they drop just enough that its noticably lower than stock and you can really feel the diffence in stiffness when you hit bumps, they barely droop down at all.

GC's with blues? What a mismatched pair. What might be the best springs mated to entry level shocks. Better than nothing I guess. When you get the money/when your shocks blow, slap the GC's on Koni's or something better.
looks really nice and clean, do you normally have to take dips and bumps sideways? im just guessing cause it seems, one finger all around, or less?
Well No, but I always watch my entrances, cause even with the stock bumper some inclines are steep! also, turning and hitting an incline with your wheel towards the fender can be scary! Just have to take these things nice and easy...its better for the suspension and basically, less stress.

I've searched this before and read good things about the Tanabe springs. Some people have Tein S Tech's (I have mine in a box, saving up for Tokico HP's to go in at the same time). Two things about Teins: Make sure that if you get them you get genuine ones (scam going around). The other thing is I've read some fitment problems here about the front spring rubbing on the tire, but in one case it may have been because a Tein spring for an NA was used in the turbo, or something.
I'm also looking for people's input on the Tein S.Techs on the NA's with stock wheels.

I'll probably be running the same setup for this summer but the problem is that the car will see a fair share of track driving. I'm not sure what I'll do since my main priority is to get rid of my FC for a JDM FC.... Maybe I'll try some spacers, change for another suspension setup or just leave it as it is.
