need opinions on tein h-tech's

a guy i met last night is taking them off his car for lower springs. i know these dont lower your car too much but i dont want to be too low since the streets by me a terrible. i just searched and saw a few negative things that it shifts the weight to the front of the car. is this true and not worth picking these springs up?

I would not by Tein anything.

A proper spring will be sprung correctly and have the right height change. I would look into Swifts, GTWorx, or Robi springs.

Proper springs are great. I ran Swifts (Sports and SpecRs) in competition and they performed great on my car. See my blog in my sig.

And struts do not care where they stroke from. As long as its not bottoming out (like what that Tein Ss do).
