So boring lol! Lovin' my Teins, and I recommend them for a lil more of a drop than Eibach. I still think that 0.8" is like WTF! It's enough to stiffen the suspension, but not enough imo to help the stance whatsoever. Eibach to me is like the easy way out......when in doubt get Eibach.

Just my opinion though.

yeah that's true. but for some reason, in the pictures, it looks like everyone who has Eibach's look lower than your car. and its the way i like it. my stock springs right now look like the height that your Teins give you right now.

The last pictures I saw posted of my car were with the suspension literally just installed

This was taken last week. The suspension is really settled and gives the car a really low profile now. A lil lower than Eibach in my opinion.

yeah i know the Tein's lower 1.4" in front and .8" in back or something like that. and the Eibach's lower .8" all around. but when i look at TC's pics, it looks different. performance wise tho, i wanna know what you all think.

I say Teins Stechs as well. 1.4 front .8 rear. I installed mine a month ago and the ride is pretty good compared to stock.

What is everyone's opinion of the Tein H-tech springs? I was looking at them and the 4way KYB's for my new 2+2. good/bad?

That is exactly what I have on my 2+2. I have the tein h-specs with kyb agx's and love them. Not too aggressive on the ride height but make for some really good handling. I can't tell the difference between the eibachs and tein h-specs other than height. I love them.

Not the best side pic but all I have.

I am also thinking if tein h-specs with kyb agx's could realy help me in terms of better handling? I already asked this to my uncle but I wasn't satisfied on his answer.

audi shocks (http://www.replacementshocks.com/audi-shocks.html) right now look like the height that your Teins give you right now.



I envy the way that car looks. I can perfect my springs every time I attempt to modify it. I'm planning buy some set of Eibach this week.
