Default Coilovers or Tein S-Techs ??

Hey CL, I am currently on F-Sport springs and want to go a bit lower. I heard that the Tein S-Techs will take you a bit lower than the F-Sports. Also I am looking into getting some used coilovers. This car is my DD and i want a nice ride, dont wanna bounce around. Which should I go with. What are the best coilovers to ride on? How do the Tein S Techs ride..?? Any info would be awsome. thanks

i don't recommend used coilovers UNLESS you are 100% aware of how much usage and the type of usage they have been through.

everything else you can find w/ a search.

Josh, if buying used Coils is a bad idea, i might just go with Tien S's or HR, i want just a bit lower..

I JUST got Tein S-Techs because I didn't want to spend 1300 on coilovers. lol The ride is great, I dont have any problems with them so far. I do bounce around a bit, But not enough for me to get sick of it. Mine is also a daily driver, so I didnt want to go too low. I like the look and it rides a little stiffer than stock. Teins are the best alternative if you want to go the lowest on springs without sacrificing your car in the process. lol

Im a NOOB when it comes to posting pics. I have the pics, but how do I post them? And as far as the "bounce" its only when I hit any bumps in the road or hard dips. Houston roads SUCK, but I don't think I bounce too much though. I see those little Ricers bouncing all over the place, so I consider the bounce to be minimal.
