Default Pic Request: Eibach ProKit 250 & Tein S-Tech spring drops!

So this is a bit of a continuation from my last thread... not happy w/ the F-Sport spring drop. I've boiled my decision down to the Eibach ProKit 250 & Tein S-Tech springs... if this could be a dedicated thread to posting pictures of these two spring drop's that would be great, not only for my decision but for others in the future deciding between the two.

Thanks!

What about H&R's? I recently picked up a set and am pretty happy so far. The springs have only been installed for around 2 weeks, but the ride is nice and the drop is nice too. I don't have any pics, but here's one of Javy's IS with H&R's. Sweet huh?

wow, these actually look good. I saw a pic of H&R's before somewhere and was turned off because the car looked dump'd... does anyone know the drop length of these H&R's?

will 1.4 and 1.3 be enough for your AWD? ur car stock sits pretty high, what size wheels do you have? i think you're looking at H&R < Tein S < Road Magnet in terms of drop size.

someone else might be able to chime in.

road magnets are def a no. the IS's front end is naturally higher then the rear, bigger wheel gap. So i deff want something where the front is dropped more...

i have to disagree with this one, i had them before, and the drop is pretty much even front and back

H&R is the way to go for a low and even drop. Stech is slightly higher and the front end will be slightly higher as well..

Can someone explaine to me how H&R's will be more even and the front? Specs say Tein S-Tech's will be lower in the front

Tein S-Tech front 1.6 rear 1.2
H&R front 1.4 rear 1.3

Doesn't make sense... how can the H&R's be lower?

Every manufacturer will have it's own set of specs, they're not always accurate. The H&R is truly a bigger drop than the TEINS.
