The Eibach spring upgrade is $200-OUCH.

Which ones were installed on this car ?
Is there a decent advantage from the standard Asian springs to the Eibach springs ?

Thanks for your patience with me

We installed the standard springs which are really adequate for the majority of people. Unless you are really going to be driving the wheels off the car or by hyper critical about the kit the Eibachs really aren't needed.

Marcus,

I saw the group buy on these and I'm interested. I changed out my springs to Comptech springs at 18k miles and I'm at about 104k miles now. I'm hearing squeaking when I'm going over speed bumps on my rear shocks now.

Would you recommend to continue to using the Comptech springs or the asian supply ones for the Type-1s?

Not trying to steal the thread...

Im debating the HT Spec Type 2s or Megan Racing. I am gonna slam the hell out of my car and most likely am gonna have to set the dampening adjustment to maximum stiffness. How do the HT Spec Type 2 compare to Megan Racing in this particular topic? Also, do the Megans go lower?

^^^ Good question.

Been wondering between Megan, Tein SS, and These with the cheap springs. I like these because there is so much adjustment and the top hats come installed.

Both the Megans and HTSpec will make the car undrivablely low if you so choose.

The HTSpecs are designed to have a good ride while improving handling of the car. Maximum firmness will sort of fly in the face of this effort. I'd still be inclined to say the HTSpec will ride better but I cannot promise it. They'll both ride like crap, most likely.

Im already prepared for the suspension to feel like junk once I get my ride height set up. Im just trying to determine which one will decrease the amount of chassis scraping at such a low height
