Default Tein s-tech vs f sport springs

Well as much as I love my GS 350 I hate the wheel gap in it. I'm looking for a small drop in height as I do not wish to take away the luxury feel of the car but i can not decide which would be a better spring for my car. Going to be on stock shocks as well.

Also do any of you have camber problems with these springs? I know on my old car I had major camber problems and bought new front tires all the time.

I liked the tein s tech springs when I had those on. I had no more camber issues than I regularly would with stock springs... it left about 1 inch wheel gap after it settled

What about the TTE sport springs. I found a good deal on a set. What's the drop on them compared to the rest.

yea someone answer the beaterman I have the exact same question. My car has $6000 worth of repairs and I get free shocks so I am not buying coilovers so springs is the way to go for me.

1.0" isn't much of a drop but good enough right?

really depends on how low you wanna go.. i'm running s-tech springs, and no complaints here... tires look good so far, but i did get an alignment.. maybe it helped little..

this is what i posted while back.. coils if you want more aggressive drop.

Is it safe to assume that the less the car is lowered the more the ride is preserved? Considering fsport for my GS350 AWD only if it will maintain the "luxury feel" that Beaterman was referring to. Is there a more comfortable spring out there?

I'm also wondering the same thing. Will the f-sport springs maintain the luxury ride? And if f-sport springs are installed, will that damage the stock shocks?
