Default anyone have tein coilovers?

whats up guys did some searching but couldnt find any answers to my questions. i noticed that some people had tein coilovers and others had the springs. anyone know the exact amount of drop i can get with either one of the products? i looked on http://www.tein.com/ti/l72.html and the difference in drop between the coilover and the spring is so small that i dont think i can justify spending the extra money for the coilovers. can anyone please let me know. thanks

You are comparing apples with oranges. Coilover includes struts by definition. Spring does not. If you search a little more, you will find 1) there is no sport struts to match with stiffer springs for RX300 in the U.S. 2) even there is, spring rate and shock dampering rate are not matched if designed by different vendors.
