Default Querry on springs reloaded

I already posted this querry and this is what happens when you don't do what you decide right away, you get second thoughts and start over. I am settled on
Tokico D-spec shocks. Should I get Tein, Hotchkis, RSR or Tokico springs? The $ does not matter. The goal is for a very fast street car with a most effective combo of comfort and being able to toss it around easily despite the weight. Also the drop should be kept to minimum. I would prefer to keep the allignment within the limits of stock hardware. Hopefully this will no go into take 3.

I would go with the Tokico springs or the RSR springs. I have the hotchkis springs and while I like them I wish they were stiffer. Tein I believe is a progressive springs and I personal like linear over progressive.

And RSR is less of a drop. This was my original idea and I will stick to it. Thanks!

hey oleg, still looking eh?

the tokico springs are listed in various places as a 1-1.2inch drop, which is getting out of the territory of the stock adjustment capabilities.
thawk, it's my understanding that the tein H-tech's are linear, but i may be wrong
oleg, based on your previous posts, still think the RSR's are the springs for you. but it would be nice to have other opinions

good luck

Tein could be linear, im not real sure. The RSR is a good spring and I like it a lot. If the tokico springs lowers it over an inch, then I might look at something else unless you get camber and toe adjustments.
