Really? Are they exactly the same springs? Because eibach pro kit are still on the market right now.. Do u have pics on ur ride with eibach set up?

So, since I might nit be able to get the L-tuned springs, It's between tanabe NF210 and eibach pro kit now.. Which one gives better comfort?

Well the Tanabe's drop more in the front and less in the rear for a more level drop since the front sits higher to begin with. I believe the Tanabe's are a linear spring and the Eibach's are a progressive design. My concern was the camber would be worse up front with the Tanabe's and I might get more inner tire wear without using the expensive SPC upper control arms w/the adjustable ball joints. It's up to you Eibach is German Tanabe's are Japanese. I believe the Eibach's can be had for a bit less. I have had Eibach's on alot of my cars including my Supra's and have always been very pleased with them.

nf210 i dont feel will be low enough to fill the gap of the 18's
