both are well known companies. Either way should work fine, just pick a drop that suits your tastes.

there are things to consider. the drop, spring rate, price, warranty coverage. so its up to you once u compare. i had a set of tein s tech and the spring actually broke into 3 pieces. and they sent me a new set but i said to hell wit them and sold the set they sent me and i bought a set of h&r limited editions and theyre fine.

We sell Tanabe and have heard lots of good things about them. Tanabe springs are "cold wound" which, by design, keeps them from sagging. I do not know if Tein does this too, but I know Eibach does not...

But as long as you stay with a reputable company, whether Tien, Tanabe, Eibach or others, you should be fine.

I've heard that Eibach has a guarantee that if their spring sags more than so many inches, I'm not sure how much it is (maybe .5"), that they will replace them.
