I have Sportline springs and am very happy with the handling. Paired with GR-2 struts, they don't infringe on daily drivability or ride comfort, at least not much. I actually wouldn't mind a stiffer ride. The difference from stock is huuuuuuuuuuuuge as far as handling goes.

My only dislike is that the front is a bit higher than the rear, but I think this might be less of an issue if you have a GT with the heavier 5S-FE. All in all, I'm considering upgrading to Tanabe DF210 springs if the spring rate is the same, seeing as the drop 2.4" F / 1.5" R, versus 1.5" all around for Sportline springs. Should give me the same stance in the back, but lower in the front. biggrin.gif

The rear end appears lower on my gt with Teins.
