Which Lowering Springs? Help

So my H&R sport springs are on back order for the next month.

I have to go a different route. So my next choice is Tein S Tech Springs. Anyone with experience with Tein, specifcally the S Tech springs, how are they?

http://www.tein.com/tech_info/g00-w203.html

Any rubbing issuses?
Aligment problems?
Hows the ride and handling?

Do you guys recommend any other good quality brand for our w203?
Im only looking at Springs at the moment, so no coilovers, shocks, cup kits, ect. at this time.

[Ive already stff and all that came out was H&R springs and cupkits/coilovers.]
Please and many thanks.

yes... i did... 400bux installed...

rubb when you drive on a bumpy road.. ride like floaty... handling are crap

and finally it blew out my stock shock about 20-25k miles of driving


especially you have a C320, means a even heavier engine... wow gotta think about it

Yes, i got the PM. Problem is i already put down a deposite on a garage that will do my springs, apparently he gave me some last minute changes with my back order. He says either wait a month or start looking for another set of springs. So i started looking for some alternatives, but after desperately trying to look for other brands, i really want H&R..

..unless you guys can recommend other good alternatives.

Vogtland springs are quite popular as well.
