Slamming my ride
If I buy the Tenzo-R springs, will I regret not shelling out the extra $100 to buy the Eibach Sportlines? Is there that much of a difference in quality??

I have the Sportlines and love em. Sometimes you pay a little extra for quality. DON'T buy the NOPI #1's, they suck...

looks like you got 1.5"gap on back wheel & on front wheel, odd why ss models dont drop like the base models, might just be cause they're different type of springs

eibach / tenzo / h&r / i knew tenzo gave max drop, and eibach well we all know your paying for the name, popular brands tend to be more expesive due to all the sponsorship they handle

Sportlines FTW. Ride is great, handling is great, stance is great. I wouldn't go with anything else.

The ss/sc models already sit about an inch lower than the others, so that's why you don't see as big a drop when you swap out the springs.

Progress Sits just as, or lower than sportlines. Ride feels way better than stock too

BTW: Pic in the sig is when I was at stock height.
