Should i go with TEIN springs or Arospeed Coilovers?

Ok , if this topic has been covered before i appologize but i need your opinions, my current setup is .. hehe dont laugh ..
stock struts&shocks and Sprint springs.

The reason why i got the Sprint springs was cause they lowered a lot ( front and back 2" drop) , my mistake i know that but anyway, i might be getting KYBs GR-2 for front and the back and was thinking of swapping the springs at the same time.
I pretty much narrowed it down to two choices at the moment , considering my budget. It is either:

TEIN Springs:
front: - 2.4"
back: - 1.1"

or
Arospeed Coilovers:
front & back adjustable between 0" - 4".

I got the alligment done about a year ago and the guy told me to get a camber kit, so i did, now.. .if i use TEIN springs at the drop is 2.4" in the front, should i get a new camber kit?

I appreciate any help anybody can provide.

Go to our forums Suspension & Brakes section and check out the stickies, there are tons of info (especially for our B14s) on all types of springs/struts/shocks/coilovers/etc.

IMO, you should have saved up and just got the Teins in the first place.

ok i found a thread about the coilover setups, so Arospeed coilovers are crap according to the post
http://www.nissanforums.com/showthread.php?t=51259

..so how are the TEIN springs, pretty good right?
Would i have to change the camber kit if i wanted to install those since the front is 0.4" more lower than my Sprint Springs

here are the springs that im talking about

for the love of god, do not get the gr-2's. just save your money and do it right, there is plenty of info about the best suspension setups for different applications on the b14.

my friend had GR-2s and they were fine on his B14, also ive read few threads last night and Ive seen KYBs GR-2s mentioned in the good way. Would it make a difference if i got the AGXs?

u really need to do some research, because u obviously dont know that GR-2's are not performance!! they are just OEM replacements. AGX's are designed for shortening which is what u want. Dont even consider Arospeed coilovers, theres a reason they cost 80$! Want a good setup? get AGX shocks/struts and ground control coilovers...good setup for relatively cheap
