Tein is not a bad brand. S-Techs are just bad springs for the Evo, and they actually aren't that bad for a lot of other applications.

I'll admit Tein makes a lot of crap but they also make some really nice stuff.

I have Tein S-Tech springs on my DSM and they've been great. No complaints here.

I can't complain. I found a good deal on coilovers or i would keep them longer. Mine seems to handle the same in the twisties at speed. But I guess if you are going to do suspension you want it to be better not the same.

ANY spring can damage ANY shock if paired incorrectly, it has nothing to do with brand. In a very indirect (and very unlikely) way, a company may be responsible for this if they fail to properly inform customers on what they need, but you can pretty much rule that out for a number of reasons.
