I search this on the board but couldnt find any straight forward good information on this. I need to know of the two, Tein or Eibach Springs, which is better?

Im not asking about kits or coilover's just straight springs. I don't want to steer away from the thread. Which is better of the two?

Thanks

my sister got tein for her celica and her boyfriends rsx-s. They are really good springs. But with any car that is lowered, no matter what they tell you, ride quality goes down a couple of notches.

There is also the fact that your car is already so low to the ground with its stock bodykit that it probably scrapes on bumps and stuff. Lowering it wont make that much better.

Is there really a difference? It just lowers your car

you'll notise the difference in handling, if the springs are stiffer then the stock ones! I'm getting some teins though, but I already have a strut bar.

Both springs are about the same. I have driven cars with both and I personally like the Eibach springs better, which is why I have them on my gst. My springs (I just have the springs right now) ride very nicely on the road and handle way better than stock springs when I hit the turns. :grin: I have the 1.5 lowering springs and my car looks great at that height. I wouldn't go any lower than that. Just my 0.02.
