Tein vs Eibach

Which set of springs would be better as far as drop and ride comfort are concerned? Tein H Tech springs or the Eibach Pro Kit?

I have 225/45/17 and I have no rubbing issues or anything. Nobody really responded to this thread so I already bought the eibach pro kit. It is waiting at my house now for installation.

i think you made a good choice with the eibachs. i have them on my car and some friends of mine have the teins. to me the teins drop a little too much.

The eibachs do look like a nice drop, pretty even gap and not overkill. The teins I was thinking about buying over the eibachs were the H-tech springs. I think these would have been more similar to the eibachs as far as drop is concerned. The S-tech springs are far to drastic of a drop and would probably kill the struts in no time.

+1 for eibachs, I dont have any experience with the eibachs, but with the Teins I know that they are only good for drop, the s-techs do drop way more then the H's, but they still feel stock. The Eibachs have a nice drop and slightly stiffer ride.

The Teins lower a lot, plus they are not as stiff as Eibachs would be. My friend has Eibachs on his 05 and it sits perfectly, and still has a strong ride at the same time.

+1 Eibachs.
