Default Tein springs

What is the cheapest most reliable website or shop to get these springs? And which are the best (s- tech or another model)?

I have honestly heard bad things for the Tein S-tech springs for the Wrx. For example Here I hear things like "they will kill your stock struts in 10k miles" and "they are too soft and bumpy". Many people say they are not suitable for the stock struts.
IMO they're are better alternatives such as the Prodrive,Eibach, Progress, and Perrin. I have the Progress springs and you can get them at Mastro for like $189+tax and they are very nice on your stock struts. They lower 1.8in front, 1.5in rear.

It's your wallet, but S-Techs drop the car too far. Your struts will live a short life. I've seen too many reports of it, and too many people selling theirs.

Is there a specific reason you want Tein springs? There are about 10 other brands that have proven themselves great in our cars for years now.

I have no information to offer about the H-Tech springs, as I am unfamiliar with their specs, etc.
