It looks like it will be the Teins, progress or the H &R's. Anyone have any experience w/ the Tanabe's or RSR's??? thank you Mario:banana:

i got eibachs on my car. ride quality feels close to stock, but since i got 18x8, the back wheel rubbs when i take a turn too hard or on rough bumbs. the rear lowers perfect over the wheel but the front still has fender gap. i think the teins were a better choice because its 2 inch lowered in the front and it would have close the fender gap better.

I think the Eibach's front is 1.3, while the rear is 1.0

I read somewhere that the Tein springs tend to wear out quickly over time. Cheaper than the Eibachs though.

Your struts won't give they just get less comfatable over time. They are just wearing down faster than there suppose to.

oh i see... sounds good to just cruise with springs temporarily. But, how will you know when your stock struts just cant take it anymore?
