TEIN S-Tech vs. Progress



im looking to drop my car after one and a half years. I can't decide whether or not to get the progress from RRM or the tein
s-tech.

I've heard that the tein s-tech is too bouncy .
I haven;t heard anything about the progress other than reading that the drop is 1.5" all around...that might be too low. What is the drop in the tiens?

i'd appreciate it if anyone can enlighten me on their knowledge of springs. BUT DON"T TRY TO CONVINCE ME TO GET EIBACHS (too expensive)

how is the ride on it? does it bounce alot when you hit a bump or do you have to go at an angle when you drive in a driveway?

well i bought tein s tech like 2 weeks ago and its awsome. not bouncy at all. i went for tein cause ive read numerous times that progress squeeks. and tien has a firmer ride. so i got tein. and after about 2 weeks riding on them. i have no complain. oh and it improves handling too.

i just did a search for teins...its really a 50/50 decision from other people. Ive read that they are bouncy..then they are stiff...im going to go for the teins because the others are more expensive...but my biggest concern now is, will it mess up my stock struts and will i have to replace the struts in like 6 months or so??

they will be bouncy, since u're compressing the shocks more than normal, it'll have more to fight back and make it bouncy.

the only real way to fix this is to get firmer shocks.
