tein s techs, theyre like 190 and i love mine, and tein is also a bad ass brand thats been around a while.
I'm getting some megan racing springs. If you go with Tein S-techs (which are amazing) make sure you get it from a qualified dealer. Those are the most ripped off, copied springs. if the price looks too good to be true, it is

I'd stay away from the M2's. Kinda sketchy and the probably wont last too long. My votes for tein as well.

Id stay away from ebay springs Honestly your better off paying the extra cash. You never know what you get with those kind of springs. Whats your budget for springs?

They look good to me plus they have a 97% positive feedback so id say go for it.
I would be warry of those. Look at the lettering. It's not straight on. Also check the color.
Those pictures although stated are just for representation and are not showing you the actual product which look entirely different. If a company is going to sell you a specific product they should be showing you how the item looks like. Tom Motorsports was a big contributor to the fake Tein S-Techs.

They may be showing an actual product but just food for though. Always buy these parts from a qualified dealer. I bought mine used off someone close by for $70. I made sure they were the read deal before I bought them.

I had a friend that had a set. Green "s-techs" they said. Looked legit, but handled like crap. They looked so convincing, he had to send them to tein to get them checked, and yep, they were knockoffs. I'm telling you, most massed produced spring. See if you can get them from a qualified tein dealer
Are you sure you want your springs to be that stiff. The Megan's give a nice drop but they are twice as stiff as stock and half again stiffer than everyother lowering spring. I would be worried the car would ride like crap. Just my 2cents.
I too would stay away from the M2 springs, I have not heard of anyone that has them.
I hadn't taken to time to look at the compression on them yet. One of my local members offered me a set that was 4 months old for $80, he's going to coilovers for a lower drop
