Tein S-techs or Eibach Sportlines

I'm about to get new springs for my 07 si sedan and i haven't really done any research yet but i was just curious on what you guys thought also im a little partial to ride comfort haha if any of you guys have either of these springs on your car let me know about the ride comfort i dont want to go to far away from the stock ride comfort but also do you think i should change out the shocks and all that other stuff i know where have the mcpherson set up and ive heard thats good enough but like i said i want you guys opinions

The ride comfort on my teins are only slightly stiffer than stock, and before alot better. no scrapping, no popping noises, no creaking.

I got mine through ROB, and i got them shipped to my door in 5 days:

S-techs, yes. H-techs are not that big of a drop. sportlines are even LOWER than s-techs.

the ride quality on my sportlines is stiffer than stock....which is expected with lowering spring. The sportlines make cornering really fun!!! my sportlines were about 1.5" drop

The s-techs will have a more agressive stance because the back isnt as low as the eibachs.

In terms of comfort, Sportlines are likely better. Progressive springs means it's more comfortable in regular driving.
