Help with suspension setup

Has anyone had any bad experiences with TEIN springs. Im trying to see if i should either go with TEIN springs or Eibach and money is an issue, but if the difference in quality is big, then ill deal with the issue.

TEIN: $159

Eibach: $225

Thanks in advance guys!

Re: Help with suspension setup

I would try the dsm section, because the brands will probably vary by car. Eibach might make good springs for Honda, but Tein might be the better choice for Mitsubishi.

nothing wrong with s techs, tein has good build quality, but they are just lowering springs, they dont really do much as far as performance is concerned.

if all you want to do is drop your car go for the s tech

Re: Help with suspension setup

No my is going to be actually more performance oriented for street use really and the occassional track race.....In that case do you prefer the Eibach?

Re: Help with suspension setup

I have eibach sportlines on my 3G and they made a good increase in the handling of my car even when I didn't have my AGX's on. I think the 2" drop of the sportlines would be too much on a 2G so maybe the Eibach Prokit would be more up your alley. And where are you getting 225 for a set of Eibachs? You should try looking on Ebay. I got my sportlines brand new for 200.
