Tein or Progress for my ES?

Hi everyone.

I just wanted to ask everyone's opinion of whether I should get the Progress springs for my 05 ES. I was hoping that Tein would come out with the S.Tech already, as it seems to be a very reliable brand. However, their website indicates that the springs are still under development for awhile now. I don't want to wait years if that's the case. Does anyone know when Tein will come out with the S.Tech and whether I should wait for it or just go with the Progress springs. The cost of installation is very expensive, so I don't want to make the wrong judgement the first time. I wish there were other makers...

Thanks!

I've heard alot of good things from current Progress spring owners; you probably won't go wrong with your purchase there. But why not do the install yourself and save a ton of $$$.

Tein will probably never come out with S-techs for the ES. They haven't in the past 5 years, why would they now?

Progress are a good choice. Go with those.

Moving to correct forum.

Thanks for the replies guys. I was wondering...what will I need and how much would that cost to make the Tein S.Tech for the OZ-Rally to fit my ES? I've done a couple of searches, but those were referring to coilovers system, not springs. Thanks.

You would need all the OZ suspension bits.
