I know about coilover qualities, however, for springs I am curious.I am running Eibach Pro's w/ Koni Yellow setup, but may consider a different spring setup years down the road, or if I get a 240 project car.

Out of these aftermarket springs, quality wise, which one of them are the best. Quality wise, I mean will resist sagging, deformation, and is close to OEM standards, if not surpass them.

The springs are: Eibach, Tein, Suspension Technique, Megan Racing, R*SR.

yeah i've always wondered how well those springs retain their behavior. my guess is that you'll never have to worry about spring quality with any of those brands.

free bump i guess :P

i can't see eibach or tein being any less quality than stock, i'd say you're safe with either.

seeing as eibach makes the oem springs for many car companies and the springs for many coilovers, i dont think youd have a problem.

USCS14DUDE how are the rs*r race on the street?

Ah okay, thanks for your opinions. I am loving the ride quality of these progressive springs and the assurance of the daily drivability of their quality. If I was to autocross and stuff, I would of gotten stiffer springs or a good quality Coilover set-up, however only a local dragstrip exists, and I do not think a straight line will make the most of race springs.
