Springs Question (Teins vs H&Rs)

hey, just purchased my M3 but unfortunately shes sitting like a 4x4 right now. I want to lower her, but nothing to aggressive. I was looking at the tein s-tech's, since i can get them for a pretty good price. but i also like the H&R's, but thats only cause they're H&R and it doesnt get better then that. My main questions are...

1. What is the ride like on the Teins and the H&R sports?

2. How long will either last? I plan on getting koni yellows within the next 6-10 months.

3. Anyone have pics of their cars with Teins or H&Rs on stock shocks?

4. Or should i wait and buy koni yellows/springs at the same time in 8 months, and get a few smaller much needed exterior mods now. ie painted reflectors, black side gills, black badging, etc.

and dont tell me to search, tried it. all i got were for sale threads and build threads.

thanks!!
