Default Are Tanabe Springs better than Eibach?

I went to discount tire today and ordered my Eibach sportlines, but the guy there had some tanabe springs in stock and he said those are better because they are made for hondas and that he'll give them for me for the same price as the eibach sportlines. So is that guy at discount tire lying to me?

yes, he's lying. Think about it. Eibach has to make springs for specific applications. they don't dish out universal springs for all types of cars.

But are they better than Eibach? How is the lowering and is it a smooth ride?

just as a warning eibach sportlines are stiff as hell-my brother has them paired with kyb gr-2's in his neon and it rides literally like a tank-It feels like the suspension has been welded to the frame-for a civic I would go with either neuspeed or skunk2 they are both great springs

If its that bad, then maybe the shocks are to blame.
