Tein H Tech or H&R springs

Wanted advice to help make the decision on which set of springs to purchase.
Found the H&Rs on sale for 215 and the Tein H Techs for 190.

Which are the better for overall ride quality and look. Need to make the decision by the 28th before the sale is over.

Any pics of advice would be greatly appreciated.

Looking at them, I think i am also considering the S techs, Is the ride to hard and is there rubbing and such? Im sure i will need a camber kit

H Techs are a mild drop and more comfort-oriented spring, the H&R and S Techs are deep drop springs w/ a firmer ride. A good compromise would be Eibach, a bit deeper drop than the H Techs but much easier to live with than the deep drop springs. You'll also need a camber/toe kit w/ the deep drop springs and may only need just a rear kit w/ the Eibachs but I still recommend the full kit

Appreciate it...i was under the assumptions that the H techs were deeper than the Eibach drop...so you would say the eibach over the H&R for sure?

If you want a drop that is easy to live with then for sure the Eibachs, if you want an aggressive drop that you'll have to be careful in your daily drives the H&Rs would be the ticket.

Not necessarily better quality, the Eibachs only drop about 1.25" give or take, so it's very easy getting over speed bumps, steep drives, etc. The H&R springs drop a lot more, around 2" or more so speed bumps, ramps, etc can really be a chore to navigate. And the camber kits run about $500 for the complete kit if you do the install so something else to consider. Allowing about $1,000 is reasonable for a drop if you do the install. Springs $250, Camber set $500, alignment $125, tax & shipping, and beer for you and your helper
If you pay for the install add another $200-300
