spring opinions

[Cinciprotege]

I'm deciding between the s-techs and eibach pro kit, but i'm still not sure what would be best for me. I am thinking the Tein's right now, but i might be upgrading to 17's (from my stock 16's) in the near future and don't want to worry about bottoming out and rubbing on the s-techs so would the eibachs be the better choice? I'd appreciate any help because i've just started learning about parts and stuff so i have no idea what to look out for.

I've searched through threads for the past week but I haven't really found the info I need. A little help would be nice

I did not have either of these on my Protege, but I had the S-Techs on my 99 Sentra and thought they where pretty soft and bouncy but lowered the car a lot. I had to put different front struts on the Sentra to give it more travel. I have the Eibach kit on my CRX and like it a lot. Didn't lower it as much, but stiffer and less body roll. Now they are completely DIFFERENT cars, but it's the only experience I have with the two. I just bought a Tokico Spring and blue strut combo on ebay so I hope to have that on within the next month or so. I figured of replacing the springs on my 10 year old car, it would be best to replace the struts while it's all apart, and the combo was pretty reasonable. Good luck.
