I believe they'll drop it lower than the teins, check the specs. It all depends on what you're looking for. I went with teins.

Sportlines have a nice drop as well as a good ride. I also Tokico blues, so the two compliment each other. Eibachs are worth the money. Try The Tire Rack - Your performance experts for tires and wheels for the spings. I got them cheaper there than any other vendor.

I have the Tein S-tech's. I picked them up real cheap. The lowering looks great. I wouldn't go any lower, even if I had coilovers. I'm only using stock shocks so the ride is like stock, but the springs are too soft to get any performance out of them. I'd definately recomend getting some stiffer shocks if your going to get the S-tech's, but like I said 2" lowering looks great on the car, I only wish i had larger wheels to really make the look.

I have Tein s-tech's on my car with the Tokico blues. They were like 150, and I love them. The ride is good and the drop isn't too slammed, which is good because I have kind of crappy roads out here in the desert. I also didn't need to buy a camber kit because it didn't drop the car to that level. As long as I rotate my tires every 5-7k miles, I will be good. Heck yes!

Wait about a month and you'll be rocking a 2" drop, mine was 1.5" to begin with, but once those springs settle you'll definately be lower. But don't get me wrong I love my springs, especially since they're the only thing I've had the cash to get so far. PRAISE BE THE LOWERED!!!

My sportlines are lower in the rear, but I do have a large system. When I did the camber it raised the car up a little bit.

I have sportlines on my car and they ride pretty much just like stock, but I'm still rocking stock struts. They definitely settle to more than 1.5", as do the S-Techs, which my friend has on a scion xB and they settled to probably almost 2".

Re: eibach or tein????

I have to eibach black springs with the blue tokicos I like them a lot. Not too stiff. No experience with tien. My 2 cents. What did you end up getting?
