F-sports VS eibach VS tein? springs only
 

i've been doing my research on this forum about lowering spring and theres so much technical info...i'm just debating now which is better and how much does it cost? and how low the car would be... i finally decided spring is what i'm going to purchase to drop my car...i have an xpack comes with sport spring suspension...

F-sport-how low? how much? any discount to CL members? carson l tuned? sewell?

eibach-how low? how much? what model? i live in sfv (818) purchasing it locally

tein- how low? how much? what model of the spring? purchasing it locally

I don't want my car too low..road here in LA COUNTY SUX...especially the 5 freeway and the 710....:cry:

make: tein
model: s-tech
specs: 1.6" in front, 1.2" in rear

make: tein
model: h-tech
specs: 1" in front, 0.6" in rear

Theres a vendor in the Vendor section offering a special on springs. I dont know if the prices are good, but i think the teins stechs for 250 is a fairly good deal now.

IMO: i think the s.techs has the nicest drop for springs

eibach pro kit is250
spec 1.4" front 1.0" rear

eibach pro kit is350
spec 1" front .8" rear

$200-300

You're not going to find much difference at all between the Eibach Pro-Kit for the IS350 and the F-Sport springs... ;)

well all i can say is PM member VikH....he has the F-Sport on his car and just drove my car so he can vouch for the difference between the TeinS on my car and the F-Sport on his car and give you a non biased opinon:) Vik has taken over the P2 mobile for the night;)

Here is a comparison shot of my car (Silver) with F-Sport Lowering Springs and F-Sport Shocks and passnu2's car (Black) with Tein Springs. Mike are they Tein H-Tech or S-Tech?

Since my car has F-Shocks it is not a direct comparison. However, after driving passnu2's car I really liked it. The F-Sport Springs/Shock combo can be harsh at times. The Teins are very close to stock ride. They lower the car more than the F-Sports in both the front and rear. His car handled well, but had some body roll in the turns. If you are mainly lowering for looks and do not care about warranty, I would get Teins.

passnu2 is running on s-techs.

the h-techs are closer to the f-sport springs in terms of lowered ride height than the s-techs. iirc, the s-techs are about half inch lower...

he told me
 

hey vikh, thnx again for the input, i PM mike and he said that you did enjoy his car this weekend and he did recommended me the tein s tech... he told me that i dont even have to worry about the rubbing on fender since i have the stock 18inch rims..
