ya those look like the springs i was goin to get. but i hear alot of people like the teins more. might want to look into those. much better drop.

Had the eibachs on my ES and I honestly loved them.. no complaints. Just recently bought the MP3 and it has Tein S springs and so far I really like those too. I wish I had tokicos on my ES however so I could make a better comparison, but I got ran over my an idiot before that could happen. But I have to say the MP3 handles very well with the tein springs. And as said already.. the drop is nice... car sits real nice.

Good luck

how about bumps? do they like to bounce around alot? i was lookin into teins too, but didnt know how far they would go in if i hit a bump or something. thanks

i have the teins on my mp3 and DEFF recommend them. bumps are a little harder on them but theres no more bouncyness when goin on roads. teins hold real tight and look super nice!

They seem to be pretty stiff... they don't want to flex much at all. But then again I'm sure the shocks play a roll in it as well. Granted I've only had the MP3 for a few days, but bouncing doesn't seem to be an issue.... car drives beautifully and very smooth. Does however pick up lightly every little imperfection in the road and bumps you have to really slow for, but is just normal. But its not bouncy by any means, at least by my standards.

im going with the tein h. tech i think.

 

[MP3Architect]

you mean s-tech?

 

[flipmode815]

I installed Eibach, exact same spring. I didn't know about T-tein, but compare to H&R which i only 1"3 front and rear. Eibach just cover the wheel gap without touch the body. I like it, for the bump...it's not too bad, i guess most aftermarket suspension bump a little bit more than stock.

damn then i say dont get the h-type. i wouldn't be happy with anything higher than the s-tech. perfect wheel well look.

i change my mind, after all this info the h. tech dont sound all that great.
