Eibachs or Teins Springs?
Which one should I get Eibachs or Tein Springs?
Are there any difference at all? Basically I have a greddy lip, but I still want to lower it. I would like performance, but my main thing is to lower it a bit, without having to steer away from a comfortable ride. Just let me know your opinions... Thanks Guys!

Both feel similar to stock but I think they feel slightly overdampened. Slighty stiff but good. I think the Teins have a better drop than the Eibachs. More level. The Eibachs still have a large gap in the front. If you can swing it and don't care about adjustable shocks then I would see about matching some springs to some shocks. You'll have better results.

I've heard people say on here before that the prokits were made to work with KYB's.
I don't know if that's true, but I've got P1 springs(made by Eibach) and KYB AGX's on my L and the dampening seems to me to be perfectly matched for the springs. |

Anyways, thanks guys for the opinions, keep them coming if there are anymore. It looks like I am leaning towards Teins'. Oh, Eric you should be a salesman of some sort, you almost had a SALE |

was the lowered stance uneven? what did you mean about teins having a more level drop?
and how did it affect the handling, and comfort? |

For sho' thanks for all the input guys. And the pic' Winslow. You know the only reason I would get the Eibachs, is because it probably would be more forgiving to my frount-lip.
But the drop I saw on ofrder's car looks nice, up-front and rear. But it's going to be pretty low with the Greddy lip...HMMM Decisions... Decisions! Oh and just like Chris said...Luke told me he still has a bunch of those springs for sale. And I hear he's selling them cheap. But buy Eric's first |
