I think this should answer your question:

Eibach - Makes nothing but suspension products.
http://eibach.com

Tenzo - Makes all kinda of parts, aka rebadges of other companies.
http://www.tenzoracingsports.com/sus...ngs/index.html

These two had the identical product discription till TENZO removed the discription.

See - Ksport
http://www.ksportusa.com/products/gtsprings.html


Number1ONE
NO site listed or found.


Even though they dont have products for our cars yet i think this page best illiustrates my point between a cheap knock off company and a suspension devlopment company. A Spring is not just a spring cause it looks simmilar.

Im gonna disaggree with you there. Im not saying the most expensiive is always best, but you get what you pay for. The best can usually be found on sale someplace.

the number one is a brand that is marketed on the NOPI website.

as for quality, you're car is depending on it. don't just go with one set cause they're cheaper.. go with the ones that have the best reputation..

the yellow ones are progressive rate. thats always good. I can't speak for their quality, I know nothing about them.

I wouldn't go with tenzo's for two reasons. they are too low. sure it looks good (if thats your thing. not for me but its not my car) but being that low is going to give you all kinds of problems with scraping the ground. I have the SSC springs, they have very little drop by comparison to other springs and i have to be very careful of speed bumps because of my gmpp exhaust, which hangs about 1/2 an inch lower than factory. I scrape on speed bumps often. any lower than what I am i would be very worried about dips in the road, parking blocks, speed bumps, etc.

the other peoblem is blowing struts. its the lower drop that does them in(from what i've heard). drop it as low as the tenzos and you are going to have problems sooner than something with less drop.

just some food for thought.
