Seriously, its all there. So far, all of the answers to your questions are in the very own thread you qouted.
As for me, can't wait to get my Tein Basic coilovers
Obviously Coilovers > Springs as long as you have the money

Why the hell would you want a stiffer ride for handling? Unless u actually autocross your car or your a ricer and like to fly around turns like a moron. NO, i just want a better ride. I drive normal plus the roads are GARBAGE here in jersey,potholes the size of swimming pools!!

Coilovers allow you to adjust your height anyway you want, and perform better than the typical spring setup.

ok i read the sticky and still a little confused i think..... tein s techs for g or z will be stiffer than stock 06 sport suspension. the difference is the z springs drop it more. but both the h techs for g and z are softer than stock 06 sport suspension. again the difference is the z springs drop it more. That's what i got out of it correct me if i'm wrong.....thanks

If you call an 06 Sport suspension too stiff, no offense, but you probably got the wrong car. Maybe you should look into a dedicated luxury coupe/sedan, not a luxury sports coupe/sedan. I guess trying to improve a cars handling is considered being a ricer these days

If you read the description for each set, it will tell you the spring rate and whether they are linear or progressive. Then compare the rates against the OEM rates and decide if that's what you want.
