Depends on how much of a drop you want. The Tein is a mild drop where the Eibach is a more agressive drop. That should help you make you decision.

If you get Eibachs be prepared to purchase camber kit for the front and rear the front is about 400.00 (Kusco) and the rear you can find for about 200.00 (SPC) then there is the cost of installation if you don't want to put the camber kit on yourself...

It depends on your wheels and the look you are going for. If you are doing 20's then the Tein's would be fine, if you are going 19's or smaller I would go with Eibach or H&R's.

ive got the h techs (which lower 1.3front/0.7 rear) with coupe 19's on and my cars sits perrrfectly. I was looking to even out the gap front/rear since these cars come slightly lower in rear (hate that!) i had some minor rubbning with 3 + in but got my fenders rolled and everything is gravvyyy now

just to make it clear, neither the rear or front is "higher"... the rear looks lower because the wheel well is smaller, but both are actually equidistant from the ground. uneven drops may have unintended consequences... that's why i went with Z springs

When I added the ProKit, I really didn't "feel" any difference in the way the car handled bumps. The ride quality is not affected very much at all - maybe a little less lateral movement on corners but little difference straight.

the wheel well is smaller??? have u measured the tips of them from the ground? they seem the exact size to me? i was referring to the gap in between wheels and well....all cars "seem" to sit lower in the rear and i dont think its b/c the wheel well is smaller? is b/c of the weight distribution our cars have when braking, sitting still, and accelerating. i notice this on alot of cars, especially older ones with worn out shocks. from my previous sedan ownerships i think that even drops may have its consequences.....either way the h techs evened out the lower clearance on my rears
