I know guys...I know but Eibach or H&R or S-Techs?
Since I finally resolved my Volk GT-30 Phantom problem, I'm looking into new springs so my ride sits right.
I know if I buy H&R I'll have to buy a **** load more of stuff which leads me thinking...just coils? I dn't have even for coils though right now
I also want something a little lower than Eibach... but Eibach is so practical $ wise as well as DDing. I'm leaning more towards the Eibach's because down the road when I get more $, I can just buy coils and sell them. But what do you guys think?
I was asking around about S-techs since they don't sit AS low as H&R and I will be saving a little more $ than H&R as well, but I feel like the ride might just be crappy
But S-techs seem to look like the drop I want, but I don't want to be a pogo stick on the streets. I don't really want to sacrifice ride/smoothness, which was why I was leaning towards Eibach.
Don't flame me for being the MILLIONITH person to ask this question, but I did research all day and I haven't really come to a conclusion yet, so I thought direct answers to my specific question would be answered,
Thanks guy.

Let me sum it up for you
1. S-tech, good ride, not a pogo stick. I honestly didn't feel any different than stock sport springs, only when I have 4 people in the car it rides rough on dips. Need camber kits unless you don't mind the negative camber look and want to flip the tires.
2. Eibach, mild drop, hardly notice it, Don't need camber kits. A ton of people have them and have no problems
3. H&r, the lowest springs, I've heard that they are bouncy but not sure as ive never had them, same as s-techs on the camber kits.
Hope this helps, I was unsure like you too but at the end of the day I went with s-techs and the drop is the way I wanted.... Slammed! I will be getting coils soon though. If I were you, if you can afford it just get coilovers from the start so you can adjust the height.

Stop that Dave...Torres
Yea, I'm like stuck between S-techs and Eibachs. Eibach are more afforable and less $$ wise but I think I want more of a drop.
My tires are 245/35/20 and 285/30/20 (Sorry, should have mentioned it in the first post)
Doggy, your starting to convince me little by little to lean towards the S-techs
.. still want some more opinions on them though coming from others guys cause I already know that Eibach's are probably the better choice/better review wise as I read throughout the forum, which was why I created the thread to see if others with S-techs had an opinion, cause I really want to drop it but not sacrifice my ride quality.

I used to have Eibachs and they were the least problematic, actually I never had a problem with them, scrape, rub etc. nothing. That's a good beginner's drop.

So, I rather spend the least amount of $ for a good drop, least problematic (stated by Loi) and then finally save for the last mod, Coilovers.
Whatchu think bout that plan? I think... Eibach's it is

I've been thinking and feel that Eibach's won't cover the gap because I have 20' wheels and pretty fat tires, Yokohoma S. Drives 245/35/20 in the front and 285/30/20 in the back. I feel that the Eibach's won't do a great job in covering this gap and feel that s-techs might be the way to go....
