Default TTE AND EIBACH LOWERING SPRING (Eibach Pro-Kit 8269-540)

What is the different between TTE & EIBACH lowering spring ? Are they same quality? The TTE works with OEM struts and lower about .30mm. But the EIBACH lower about 1.2 or 1.3 inches and does it works with vechicle oem struts, same OEM wheels ? Any ideas welcome.

TTE and Eibach Springs the same, no different. But TTE have 2 different spring sets for the RX300, one is from Eibach. by the other one is no manufacturer in the official papers.

You can find this her:http://www.tte.de/popup/popup_tuv_certificates.htm

i have installed with the sport damper from Kayaba. The car is stiffer in curves, drives sporty sometimes to hard, but funny for fast racing.

i have read in a test with only the lowering springs, the car is in curves better, the steering is better

I have the Tein S.Techs in mine and it lowers it 2+ inches. I've had them for 3 years so I forgot how they felt when I switched them out. The ride is a little too stiff for my liking now but it may be my shocks are overdue to be changed. Corners real nice though!

wow liqrsicc back from the dead... haven't seen you post for the longest ... hows you and your lexso doing? still got it ?

i had eibach before for like month and switch to Tein S.Techs ... i think the tein ride a little bit more smoother compare to eibach. to me eibach seem to bounce around more.
