eibach pro kit vs tein H tech

Haven't used the Eibach's but i'm very happy with my H Tech's and i'm not easy to please already on my third set of wheels counting the originals.

lol ya i've seen. i'm just a little suspicious how if MSRP is $310 i can find them for at low as $178 from our vendors site, plus i don't wanna blow my dampers premature

Honestly, the H Tech price should show you right away how good they are.....

H-Tech as usual is their cheap springs. Do a Google for long term reviews.

The Eibach Pro-Kit is MUCH better, better spring rates, height in a reasonable range, plus they come with dust boots and bump stops. It's really a very nice complete kit.

I wouldn't say its much better they are both good quality, i preferred the spring rates and drop of the H Tech to the Eibach and if i just wanted the cheapest i could have got the Hotchkis ones. I have only had mine on since saturday though but so far i'm very happy.

1.what are the drop rates on these? i've seen a few different numbers

2.hows ur clearance on the h techs? i wanna keep lik .5 inch since these XXRs (i have the same as you) will hit the fenders if i drop it too much

1.0" front, .8" rear, i wish i had taken measurements not sure what i was thinking there but thats what was in the manual included with them.

Plenty of clearance still and i have 235/40's which are 25.4" overall diameter which is a little bigger than most people run. There is right about an inch between the tire and fender. I didn't want to go any lower than this in the rear because of the lack of camber adjustment and didn't want the hassle of installing the Whiteline rear camber bushing. Our alignment rack at work is down right now so i haven't been able to align it yet hopefully very soon and i will post the specs. Oem camber bolts are a must for the front also in my opinion.

ya i no on that exact wheel and tire setup we have 1.7(5) in clearance up front. but ya ill def stay tuned to see those specs
