H&R Springs or S-Techs?

I'm torn between the two, but also have a few questions:
1. Without a camber kit, will the S-Techs rub? What about the H&R?
2. I found a good deal on eBay to get the Tein S-Techs + SPC Rear camber for around $370 shipped. Should I go for that?

I have H&R's I have camber kits F&R (you will need it since the drop is so aggressive) No rubbing at all with/out camber. Hope it helps

With the H&R's you wont rub but you WILL need at least the rear camber and toe kit, the front camber isnt bad and you will actually need what neg camber you get out of the drop for wheel/fender clearance since they are tucked. The rear camber situation on the other hand is extreme as well as the toe angle.

Alright I think I'll go with the S-Techs and the spc rear camber kit. For $370 I think thats a good set up.

Hmm, I'm going to be putting some vossens on this soon, so will the s-techs be too low for a 20 x 9 and 20 x 10.5 set up?

Your set-up will be perfect now question is, what offsets will you be getting w vossens! I have been on s techs w 3 different offsets and many diff tire sizes and depending in what you are going for, we can help you go in the right direction.

W that you will need to stretch and go w 235/30/20 and 255/30/20 and modify rear bracket by shaving down!!! Next if you go 25 and rear+ 30 you can run a 245/30/20 and 275/285 and still modify rear bracket still!! Wich will be flush and still wide meaty tires .

So +25, +30 will be good?
And can you explain how you shave the bracket down, will a install shop do that?
What do you guys think about VVS-085's (20 x 9 F , 20 x 10.5 R, +30 +35, on 255/30/20 and 285/30/20)?

Also depending on tires you go with will vary, for example, hankooks 285 on a +30 rear will be too aggresive and are better off with a 275/30 w a +30 rear unless you use falken tire than a 285/30 would be good. Hankooks are bulky azz tires !!! I say run vossens +25 an rear +30 with 245/3020 and rear 285/30/20! That's a good set-up!!! Flush w wide tires !!! Pretty mean looking ..

My car is amethyst graphite
and I'll get the rims machine black stainless lip.
Alright so I'll get the +25, +30 with falken 245/30/20 and 285/30/20.
Now what was that mod you were talking about with the wheel well or w/e to accomodate for the bulkier tire?
