Anyone have any experience with these springs? I have a WRX 04 sedan and narrowed it down between eibach, tanabe, and was ust recommended the Tein H-tech's.

I'm looking for better handling while not sacrificing too much comfort. And yes I know about prodrives, but there a lil expensive. Any opinions or pictures would be helpful.

 

if you're looking to keep the stock spring rate or one close to it you could go with either brand. My buddy has the H-techs on his '03 WRX and I cant feel any difference. On other forums I've read that the H-techs are "known to be noisy", squeeking and such, but I havent heard anything from my friends car myself nor has he ever complained. I've heard the same as far as Eibach, but the Tanabe's might be a little stiffer.

Im looking for springs for my GC8 myself. I thought I had decided on the Tanabe GF210's (grip feel) which provide a drop of 1.3inches front, 1inch rear and are a rate of 3.5kg/mm front 2.9kg/mm rear.

Then I spotted a few different Espelir ASD sets on ebay. The info on these is kind of confusing though. For the '02-'03 model the #'s were 4.5kg/mm front, 3.5kg/mm rear with a drop of 35mm front, 20mm rear.
For the GC8 model the #'s were 6kg/mm front, 4.2kg/mm rear with a drop of 30mm front, 25mm rear.
Personally Im looking for a spring rate thats a bit stiffer than stock. I was always told that the Espelir's kept a rate close to or the same as stock like the Tein's, Tanabe's or Eibachs. SO I dont know whether or not to believe one of these ebay sellers when they tell me that the rates are 6 and 4.2

 

drop on your friend's car with the Tein H-tech's??

Thanks for the info!

 

I never actually measured it myself. I would assume the 1.5" front and 1.3" rear that they are specified at.
