Tein vs. Eibach (springs), S.tech vs. Sportlines Options

[celicast3sgte]

So I'm going to lower my car for the AZ meet but I came down to these 2 choices if possible please post experiences and pics of your car riding on these springs. I'm looking for a decent ride but a lower stance. as long as handling doesnt get worse I'm ok with it. this is just a temp setup until I get a real suspension. also keep an eye out for my WTB/FS thread in the next couple days ill have a list. thanks

I have Sportlines. I love the look of them, the ride quality isnt that great, but I also need an allignment. With any lowering the car is going to feel different. She does handle much better though.

Most people would said go with Tein. I've never driven a 6gc with Tein springs so idk?

im tryin to make my mind up too. i dont like coilovers and its out of the two ur looking at that im goin to get. i wish there where more people with a reply on this to figure out which one is better and second do they have a bodykit or not that matters.

i have sporlines. i really loved them when i 1st got them, but over time, the car really settles and starts to sit lower then i like. the ride quality also isint that great, but a lot of that also has to do with having really thin tires on 17s. tein seems to be just like the sporlines in terms of looks and ride quality.

i have tein s-techs.. the height is perfect for what i wanted..The eibachs offer more of a drop (i believe).. so i think if it is your daily driver then you might want something a little heigher and therefore probably with a more smooth ride.. but a lower car on some nice wheels does look sweet

i think i also noticed that the tein were cheaper in cost compared to the eibach's.. the ride isn't bad not bumpy or stiff.. i do need new shocks though.. so no matter which of the two you choose..

change your shocks & struts..

So the real questions are.. how low do you want to go?.. how much do you want to spend.. and are you going more for looks or ride quality

IMO anything is better than stock!!!

I say go for what is cheaper.. and more available to you..

I think im gonna go with those cause i found some for 150$ shipped to my door and i like the ride height specs better than the 1.5 all around sportlines. i wont have these for too long anyways so shocks and struts im not gonna worry about. keep the review goin guys! thanks!
