    I've got Tein S-Tech's on my EK, good if you don't plan on changing your stock shocks.
    1.5'' drop and progressive spring rate design. ride is comfortable and not stiff compared to king springs.

    at the time i was thinking of getting kmacs, but was reading around and people had mixed views.
    most will say they are good cause they are made to your specifications whilst others complain about the quality of the springs ever since they changed to new management.

    teins ftw!

    92-95 EG Hatch - get this and you will be fine

    dont forget to get some bump-stops and some shock bush's - otherwise the shocks will suffer a bit

    also let us know how it all goes =D

    I believe if an EG uses DC springs, it would be about 20-25mm higher. So that's a pretty big difference imo

    you need 1 bumpstop per shock - the springs will come with instructions on cutting them to mach the teins - i did this with a marker and hobby knife

    tein s-techs arnt a massive change from stock for comfort - its only when you add in an aftermarket shock that the comfortability starts to get a bit thinned out

    also - real ones should be green with brown plastic bits - the gold ones are H-Techs which are softer and higher up
