My personal opinion would be to stick with Quality...The Eibach brand is well made and well engineered. I've ran them on 2 other cars (Sportlines) and have never had any complaints

Ohhhhhh the tenzos are fine. I know a few people that use them and they havent had any issues. And they also drive their cars every day.

Ive had the Tenzos for about 10000 miles and I have no complaints at all. I found massive improvement in handling and the ride is nearly at stock quality.

It really comes down to how easy it is for you to get your hands on an extra hundred bucks. For me being a broke ass college student, I went with the tenzos, and I really couldnt be happier with another springs only set up. If youve got the $, name brand assurance is nice, but the Tenzos are a quality product

Tenzo is definitely name brand. Not as much as Eibach, but they are a player in the racing world.

Actually I think Tenzo is a repainted and relabeled form of another spring, but HEY, the company made it into Midnight Club!

Eibach Sportlines drop 2.0" (front) and 2.5" (rear), for the LS.

Find me any spring that drops lower.

B&G and Tenzo's both seem to give less wheel gap than the Sportlines after settling.

The numbers on the drop are the same for all three, but those two seem to be lower, as is the concensus here.

I don't know how many Cobalts you have seen lowered, but I can verify this isn't true.

I have Sportlines, and my car is lower than my friend, who has Tenzos.
