Tenzo-R vs Sportline

Which has more of a drop, and which is better?
Has anyone bought/tested the Tenzo-R springs yet?

I drag the underside of my car without lowering it. So I don't think it I am going to lower it. But to answer your question I have heard nothing but good things from the Sportline springs. Not really heard anything about the Tenzo -R Yet

well what r u lowering? the ss or base/ls/lt, i lowered my ls with sportlines and the ride is bumpy but im not complaining i love it!! youll take corners like nothing!! i dont recommend sportlines if u live in a hilly/really bumpy area, i live in so-cal so the only bumps i get are the ones on the I-10, if u still want to drop ur base/ls/lt but not have such a bad ride, get the pro-kit

Do the sportlines bottom out alot? I live in an area thats okay, but there are potholes here and there. Whats the deal with replacing the stock struts later on? How much does that cost?

well it shouldnt be a problem for you but it is real low but u can still go up driveways and stuff just not real steep ones. and your struts will wear out faster and there arent any aftermarket ones yet, and i didnt need an alignment, there were no differences in camber angles or anything.

how much will aftermarket struts cost to buy/install when they come out?

It says on the Gravana Website that the Tenzo-Rs are for J-Bodies? will these still work for us? if so I might get them, 2" front and 2.5" rear sounds good to me

Before i bought my SC i had '98 bimmer 328i and tried out Eibach and in my experience they F'ing sucked the big one so i ate the loss and bought H&R's which were really impressive tbh and i am considering them again unless tein comes out with a kit for the SS S/C

I havnt heard much about the trenzo-r but the eibach i have heard nothing but good reviews from them. I think they are about the same in drop for front and back but the Trenzo-r are cheaper than the Eibach but that might be due to the quality of the springs, idk. I would also like to hear some feedback on the trenzo-r if anyone has got them.

If your just getting springs I'd go with the Eibach, but if your going with a coilover set-up I'd go with some Tein coilovers. The ride is superior to any other lowering suspension.
