compared to other great springs such as neuspeed and goldline. why pay $200 when you could get springs just as good if not even better then eibachs for 130-145 shipped.

I didn't pay no $200 for mine. I rest on Eibach's reputation for good engineering and quailty going back to my early 1960's drag racing experience. There are certain old line companies that can be trusted without questiion. Eibach is one of them.

how much did you pay? 200 was the average price i found it, 180 was the cheapest i found it... i know they are a company that can be trusted and that has a good reputation but i guess thats why they charge more then other companies. i'm not sure how long neuspeed has been in the game but from my experience with their customer service i now have trust and support for them. also how is it that eibach hasnt made two different versions for a coupe and sedan when the sedan is much more heavier in the rear. neuspeed has acknowledge that sedans are infact heavier in the rear and will cause a lower drop in the rear, thus making a 2 door and 4 door version.

I paid $170 but would have paid more if I hadn't found a deal. I am not concerned with sedans as I have a coupe, and would feel kinda silly putting mods on a family sedan. Just my preference. I did my ProKit and Konis at the same time. Paid $425 for the Konis so I wanted what I considered the best springs for my personal preference for my car for the purposes I use it for. Mainly I wanted springs that didn't drop too much, hence the ProKit, with good adujstable shocks mostly for daily and long distance interstate driving. Konis's were the only shocks available at the time, and I would have probably chosen them anyway, again based on prior experience.

Like my friends and associates always say, "If Bart can't go first class, Bart doesn't go."

ya i figured thats why eibach didnt make two seperate springs. not too many people would want to lower sedans. and i know this doesnt have to deal with you but doesnt that show their companies service? they dont really care about the few that actually want to lower their sedans. they say it will work for the sedan too(since it fits coupe springs) when infact the drop on a sedan looks ugly. but do they care, no. shows they just care about the money. well maybe i was out of line there but this just shows that neuspeed service is pretty damn good.
where did you get your konis anyways? cause 425 is the best price i've seen. even 170 for the springs... i usually see konis for 550 and eibachs for 190.
and dont get me wrong, i'm not saying eibach sucks or anything. they are some great springs and as you say, you cant go wrong with eibach. i just think that even tho neuspeed or goldlines might not be as reputable as eibach, their springs are just as good as eibachs. and maybe its cause they're still new companies(well not that new) they show that they are still willing to listen to the consumer and better their company. they have acknowledged that even tho there are only a few, there still are people that want to drop their sedans. and as for neuspeed and goldlines service, i think they're great. a goldline representative even came on this site, it might have been to market their product(probably cause their name isn't as big as neuspeed or eibach) but it shows they want to listen what the consumer thinks. i'm sure eibach's customer service is good too, but neuspeed and goldlines have shown me that they are willing to go that extra mile to satisfy their customers
