Question springs

i know the big names in the lowering spring catagory, i just don't know which ones to go with?

i've narrowed them down to tein's or h&r's???

which one, are the bottom out good springs for the buck?

im looking for a nice low look, not to low maybe 1.8'', and im also looking for something that won't make me change my struts too quick.

any help will be greatly appreciated.

Both are pretty stiff...So neither will be good for strut life/bounce reduction...

you answered your own questions if you want a 1.8" drop or so...The Tien springs do that in front and 1.5" or so in back...The H&R's are not quite that much, more like 1.4" in front...

Both are from excellent companies...and are both similarly priced, so as far as bang for the buck they will both be good...

I guess it comes down to which "color" springs you want...Green or dark blue (might be black for Protege's, Every set I have seen for other cars has been blue)...and this by the way is a joke...
