Are Tein s-tech any good?

I'm getting Koni shocks for sure but still kinda undecided about the springs.
wut are these springs good for? mainly street? mainly track? good for both street and track? they suck? how they ride on hwy (I do alot of hwy)? I don't care about drop as long as itz between 1 to 2 inches itz good, I just want a responsive setup. the reasone I'm asking is cus the guy thats selling me his koni shocks already has these springs assembled on them so I was thinkin of getting a deal on his package.

thanks guys

i used the tein s-tech/koni yellow combination for a while. i thought it was perfect. it had just the right balance of handling and comfort. i did alot of highway driving also. i have to say that my car handled beautifully on the highway! i would go for it.

I had s-techs on my sedan and it sagged HORRIBLY in the back. The springs themselves are great though.

I highly advise the teins
