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.
