I have a choice between two springs that around teh same price range, propably like ten dollar difference, I have a choice between nuespeed or tien, but I've hear dthat the tien only drops 1.6 and if this is true I 'm gonna end up wanting to go lower, I dotn know what the drop is on the nuespeeds, but if anyone knows any info on nuespeeds please reply A.S.A.P,

neuspeed = great drop/low quality spring

tein = so-so drop/great quality

I am sold on Progress springs. I believe Chuck is throwing a nice groupbuy party on these too. His are the Sport springs. Check em out. I love mine. I think when they originally came out last fall they were 1.75" which is what I was told mine were. Chucks are a little different, but great quality. Chuck is with ShowstoppersUSA

Neuspeed sport(1.5/1.5) should be fine w/stock shocks(Bilstein is preferred) but if you go w/Race springs(think their 2.25 or 2.5 all around), I highly recomend you go w/Koni sport shocks. Otherwise your stock shocks will occasionally bottom out,harsh ride.
Now Tein has been known for great coilovers so their springs should be great too! However it doesn't seem that they have a springs(1.4/1.4) for the EP. It seems as it's the same springs for the 01+ coupe. Even though it's stated at 1.4 drop all around, it seems to drop the car lower. Refer to typeX's car.

neuspeed is probably the best for looks, and the quality isnt great but its not awful either

Napapacoda-- I thought the same thing until I looked closely at a Tein ad......the top had their goofy logo, then "Tein (tan)" The ad was in Jan or Feb's Sport Compact.
