Default Tein S-tech quality Issues vs. Eibach Pro Kits

Hi,

Right now, I am debating between the Tein S-techs and Eibach Pro Kits. I've read that those who have the Tein S-techs have experience some sagging. Any truth behind that?

I know that the Tein drop is slightly more than the Eibachs. Will the ride be singificantly stiffer and more uncomfortable? I am still looking to maintain a somewhat pleasant ride experience.

Thanks for your input.

I had H&R springs and I experienced sagging on one spring in 10k miles.


I got Eibach now and it's great. Feels like OEM+, even though the drop isn't the greatest, for functionality it's the best IMO. If you want a bigger drop go coilovers.

I'm on the S-Techs and I really like them. The ride is superb and i really can not tell the difference until I take a turn and I stay planted and level. AS far as the sagging..well mayb if it happens I will just look even lower!

i have not read of any cases of s-techs sagging, and as a former owner of s-techs myself i have not experienced any sagging. some have complained of uneven left/right ride height, but that's an inherent quality of the 2is, not of s-techs.

imo, the ride quality noticeably firmed up w/ s-techs (i came from oem sports package springs). however, it wasn't washboard-stiff or choppy.

I've had Eibach 350's since May 2009, no problems, no quality issues.
