I'll start by saying I feel the Prodrives are the best spring out there for a daily driven car, though I've never experienced the Teins. I started off with some Apex springs, which were quite low and way too stiff. Through a miraculous Ebay fiasco I ended up with a set of Prodrives for about $80. I had them on stock struts for quite a while and they were nice. Not bouncy and not too stiff at all. The drop was a bit more than an inch, but to me it's right where I would want it. When my OE struts finally gave up at around 60K miles (more than 30K of that was with the Prodrives), I got some AGXs and the difference was dramatic. The car feels much more under control over bumps and rough roads now. With the AGXs at full soft, the ride is a bit stiffer than the OE struts, but not uncomfortable at all. And you won't have any rubbing problems with ET48 17x7.5 rims with either OE struts or AGXs. My Enkeis are the same size and offset and I have 235/40/17 S03s on now. I only slightly rub with 4 people in the car around a hard corner.
