What are you looking for in the spring? I've heard that tein has a more aggressive spring rate than the eibachs. If you can handle the stiff ride of the tein's for everyday driving i would go with the teins for better handling.

Despite the fact I've ordered Eibach Sportlines, I think Tein's are superior quality.

tein is by far better quality, and i wouldnt compare it to the sportlines, more the prolines than the sportline, because they are more performance oriented than the sportlines, sportlines are for max drop, proline and tein are for performance handling. vote = teins

knightrider...do u have em? if not, ive heard ppl talkin about how its like riding on the floor...this is gonna be my daily driver and i if i have to sacrafice the handling of the teins for a lil more comfort then i think i will cuz i already have back problems...a super, super stiff suspension wont help at all, but im gonna put up with it...ive ridin on sportlines b4 and anything much stiffer i probably wouldnt fare to well with...we also have SH*TTY roads around here...i live in kansas..sometimes travelling to missouri for relatives, and i dunno if any1 on the board knows about missouri roads....but i guarentee they are the worst or right next to the worst in the country.
