lowering springs???

ok first off i have already done a search between the springs i want. i got a lot of information on many types and ive come to these 3 choices..... tanabe gf210, espelir gt, and tein s tech. the more popluar one being the s techs.....but i was going to go with the tanabes. basically i need some more info from the people that have any of these three on their car. whats the ride like, does it eat up the tires and have bad camber??? just give me some feedback on this please, this is my next mod and no i cannot afford a coilover package but will eventually get coilover setup......this is just an "in the mean time" mod....thanks in advance for your help!

tanabes are great for street set up. Nice drop also. If you want to keep the stock stiffness, get the tanabes. I also got it aligned to factory specs.....

If it helps, I remember Adam from Z1Auto said that the tanable springs were the best all around springs that he had seen for the Evo. By the way, he is a vendor and lets just say he knows a thing or two about a thing or two when it comes to Evo's.
