go with eibach, tein is known to sag. I say this from my own experience, and other people's experience.

Sorry, what does sagging mean? Like it settles more?

So why is that a problem? I've always heard that springs do not give their full drop for a week or two after you install them. I thought this was normal.

It is normal for springs to settle. Saying they sag implies they settled a little more than desired.

Couple of things...

These are two completely different springs. One offers a more aggressive drop than the other for one thing. And eibachs are known to sag, not tein.

Does this look legit?

Pretty cheap. I'm assuming 03+ means I'll be ok with an 06 coupe
