RSR or Tein Springs

After doing some reading, I'm debating between the RSR and Tein springs

I've heard the Tein give you a pretty good drop and the RSR have a very aggressive drop.

I have Tokiko struts and stock springs/wheels. I want the car to have a low aggressive look and ride with comfort as a daily driver. But will ride stiff if I want to have fun in the twists.

Tein s tech is good thats what I went with.
The RSR is out of stock and out of production
the down spring is good as far as i know.

Also, what about H&R? How are those compared to these?

Basically I would like to have the lowest look with the springs. Which of these springs will lower the car the most?

Bump

I've done some searches and the H&R's give the lowest drop all around? The drop on the springs are pretty good in the front, but the rear in the pictures some of them are still pretty high.

I want a level drop all around with a pretty low aggressive stance. Basically, it's going to be for looks.

H&R does drop the car alot. Here is my car with H&R.

This is with RSR down springs. *note: this one is with 17in rims. If I had H&R springs with these rims, tires would have been rubbing the fender.

Well that's the thing, later down the line I will probably be running 18's (possibly 19's if I want to for show) so I need to figure I get any of these springs, will it be difficult to fit these wheels?

Basically, my ideal setup would be 18 (or 19) x 8.5 in the front and 18 (or 19) x 9.5 or 10 in the back with 235 tires up front and 265-275 in the rear.

if you are thinking about 18" or even 19"...to be safe, get a set of coilovers?

coilovers would probably be the safest bet, but I don't think I'm going to be shelling out that amount of money right now :-(

I want to get HRE 545R wheels, either 18's or 19's I really don't know, all depends on the kind of look I want.

I know that coilovers would be the best of both worlds, but that's 1k less towards the wheels and I'm going to need all the money I can get for those HRE's

BTW, are you coming to the car meet at Auto RnD this Saturday? (11th) If so, I'll see you there and maybe we could talk there.

Its hard to pull off 18's on struts, let alone 19's. Your best bet are those buddy club or apexi exv if youre trying to save money. GoodfellasFD3S turned me on to tanabe's. Theyre like 1500 and he put the good word in. Hes the **** too. If i wasnt so broke and didnt already have my new struts i woulda gotten these in a heartbeat.
