Another inquiry:

All the descriptions for the Prodrive springs say they are, "designed to work with the stock strut." Taken with a grain of salt, to be sure. But none of the others do - for example, the Tein S-tech. Is there really going to be a big difference between the two? The Prodrives advertise a 25mm drop - about an inch - but I've read that it often turns out to be a bit more. The Teins are a bit more agressive, with about 1.6" front drop.

There is also a fair difference in price between the two: about $280 for the Prodrives vs. $200 for the Teins (according to the Gruppe-s website).

I may or may not decide to ditch the coilovers altogether and pick up a set of KYB AGX depending on how I like the springs. Or I could still end up running the springs on stock struts for the time being and going back to coilovers eventually. If I do switch to the AGX, it won't be until the coilovers have been sold off.

Any advice? I don't really have any experience with the pros/cons of the various possible spring/strut combos. Should I go with prodrive just in case I have to stick with the stock struts for a while, or will it not matter one way or the other?
