The S-Tech is more of a performance oriented spring. It lowers the car a bit more, but as said, it improves the handling a lot when combined with a good strut such as the Koni. The front is lowered .7" and the rear is .6". It's not really THAT much more than the H-tech as far as ride height, but the performance aspect of the S-Tech spring is far greater than the stock setup or the H-Tech.

I am also basing it on the information that the president of Tein Japan, Mr. Fujimoto gave to me himself when he was here at our facility two weeks ago. He sat down with all of us here and answered any and all questions we had regarding their products and gave us a much better understanding of all the parts they have available, these springs included.

I have the Espelir Active GT springs. I like them a lot. Improved handling, and didn't really drop the car that much. It's the perfect height with my 19's. Nothing ever rubs. And the ride is actual better than stock. Not so bouncy, yet it handles even better.

Look at Sport Compact Cars article and you will see that the stock springs with new anti-sway bars was a good handling package. They went with Hotchkis bars.
My suggestion would be to run bars and a set of Koni shocks with your stock springs. Better handling, ride and ground clearance.
Wheels and tires are the biggest and best handling improvement that can be done.

Are you putting Konis on?
