Default Which springs? Eibach or Tein? HELP

im ordering springs this week or next and just wondering what the preferrance was for ride quality. i have seen people with each set up. the Tein H-Tech springs only drop 1", and the Eibach Sportline seems to drop 1.5" all around. how is the ride quality with each? thorough feedback is greatly appreciated

it really depends on what YOU are looking for. . .

are you looking for:
A) get rid of wheel gap
B) drop it
C) handling
D) looks

I mean if your not trying to go low then tein h-tech is not as low as comptech but rids of some wheel gap (althogh i don't think its worth it)

I have tein s-techs, drops 1.4 F / 1.3 R - definately tell .. rids of MOST the wheel gap and rides just like stock IMHO

u already have 2 votes for comptech

eibach people aren't complaining, the new 8th gen is pretty good when dropped

there is a guy on FGcoupe.com that has the Tein SS and has dropped that as low as it can go and he says it rides koo

I myself ... most likely be getting rid of the Tein S-techs after the Tein Type Flex come out (gonna rock the EDFC)

so i hope that helps at all (if any)

basically anytime you lower a car, you will need to put a camber kit on. Mine with the comptechs wasnt to bad, but i want everything perfect so i put a camber kit on right away and had it aligned. That way i never have to worry about my tires wearing unevenly. Comptechs put a lot of R&D into their product. It is a progressive spring and comptech is a name that has been around. I like and reccomend their product as well as getting a camber kit with whatever springs you decide to get.

i have eibach's and i love them. they ride better than stock springs and arent too stiff for a long road trip. i have tiens on my integra but my ESII is mainly the familyride. i have the prokit springs with 18's and i have like 1" wheel gap with a 225/40/18.
