i have had both on my car. The eibach sportlines was a decent drop and a great ride. While the h&r's had a good drop but it was a little rough for me. So i went with coilovers. just my .02

i have never been happy with any tenzo product ive owned so i think im going to stay away from them, so the eibach sportlines ride better than the h and r?

No aftermarket struts out yet. One of our supporting vendors is working with someone to get a set though, so keep your eyes posted on the supporting vendor forums.

i paid 950 for them. I have the front sitting right over top the tire and the rear is a 1/4in lower than the h&rs.

I like coilovers better than springs due to the fact of adjustablility and also i think the ride is alot firmer

wait you only paid 950 for them? where did you buy them and long did it take for them to ship the coilovers? Also how hard is it to adjust them?
I would like to buy these for the fact that I could really lower my base balt a lot with these. My brother had coilovers on one of his cars and he had to keep adjusting them because he couldn't get the sides perfect gap.

1000 is actually cheap for a good coilover full setup
