which lowering springs should i buy?

what is the best lowering springs that i can get for my RX-8 that are between $100 and $200 dollars, and if money wasnt an object which set/type would be best then. I was looking at Tein S Tech please comment on how good these are if youve tried them. Thanks

Tien's are great. I have them on my car with koni shocks, although they came with the car when i bought it im not sure the exact type. But i just got my oil changed and the guy was tripping out of my suspension set up and about how high quality and expensive it was (made me feel good lol). But they ride good and of course look bad ***, im not sure the exact drop but from tire (225/45/18) to fender it looks right around 2" compared to a stock 8. If you can afford it, tiens are for you!

I highly recommend the OEM Civic springs, they're a direct swap, just like the RX-7's twin turbos. It will make your car handle better.

If the roads in your area aren't too bad get the Sprint springs they give you the most aggressive drop without going coilovers. 2" drop front and rear
