Which is more performance oriented...Tein stechs or TigerTecs?

Thanks for the insight HTM. So why would the Teins give more oversteer and the Tigers would give understeer? I just want to make sure I understand things right. My current setup is Tokicos, TigerTec springs and a UR 23mm sway bar. I'm thinking whether or not of switching to Tein S-Techs or not, if there is even much difference between them and the TigerTecs to justify switching springs.

Alright. I tried before on Tanabe NF(2.5 frt & 2.2 rear) and Tein Stech (3 frt & 3.5 rear)springs. Those are about the same category of spring rate set-up as you posted, softer on the front to the rear and vice versa.

How much do you find your current set-up in your ride? Do you like them to be more over-steer(increase steering)? If not, it will be good for you to stay as it is.

I must say that the Tein S-tech are really stiff over my NF springs but they provide me SO MUCH more of steering which i love it but i really can't take the "super low" form and discomfort due to the high stiffness. In the end i sacrifice the "increased steering" for more "comfort" by putting back my NF springs. It is all about compromise.

Any car with higher spring rate on the front than the rear will provide u more "understeer" characteristic.

Where higher spring rate on the rear than the front will provide you more "oversteer" characteristic.

Hope the above will help you to make better decision.
