    Default TEIN: S.Tech or H.Tech?

    Hey, what's the difference between the two. Which is better for daily driving?

    both are garbage.. the s-tech's which are supposed to be the performance choice of the two have poorly overrated spring rates. I had a set of them on my civic and they swayed and bounced like crazy even with koni yellows

    imo H&R and Neuspeed offer the best springs for Honda's.. an aggressive drop with a good accompanying spring rate

    if ya wanna match then why dont you get some coil overs??? Like some type flex's for comfort and all around adjustablilty or the super streets. But that is if you have the bank to get em.....

    Ive tried several different setups and ive not found any basic setup that i like as much as ground controls. Quality springs, different spring-rate options, and height adjustable make it worth the difference in cost over static drop springs to me

    Let me simplify for you since Im a 5th gen owner. All you need is H&R Sport Springs with Koni Yellow. ENough said there the best for Prelude that and if you really want to splurge...go with Ground Control Coilover mated with the Koni Yellow thats already done set for track and street. Countless numbers of Ludes out there use those setups...thought RS*R supposedly has their spring almost feeling like H&R but more smoother and handles great.
