I have S-techs and noticed a noticeable deration of handling.
That also partially had to do with all-season tires as well.

However, S-techs are a show car spring, in other words they look great but don't perform like stock or other aftermarket springs. The drop is severe, 1.9 inches in the front and 0.9 inches in the back.

Market studies (aka forum members) seem to show that hotckis have been best for actual improvement in handling, the drop is more even (about 1 inch all around).

i have them but they made the car a little too low i think, and now my APR front splitter wont go over and bumps or hills w/o hitting, so i'm probably am going to sell my springs and get the tein suspesenion system w/ the adjustable softness+stiffness computering
