they're both great companies it depends on what you're going to use the car for.

either brand will get the job done but just be sure to pair your springs with a nice set of struts

Tein's S techs are pretty soft nad you don't get the feedback and the control you would wiht Eibach from what I've heard...more of a stock feel while Eibach is more for performance driving.

those are dampners not springs.

i would go with some eibachs if i was going to just get springs. i had sportlines on my CRX and they got the job done, put it just about 1.5-2in away from the tire.

it's dampers, not dampeners.
dampeners are the slack-jawed morons residing on this site that drool on their shirt collars.

Ahh, I see.

Is there an Eibach setup that is comparable to the Tein SS's that are better¿ I know nothing about what is good and what is not and I don't trust the local shops here, they just want to sell you anything.

I really liked my Eibach pro-kits. It rode smooth and handled much better than stock. Too bad you're car isn't an EK (look at my sig)
