I didn't do too much research but saw the eibach kit was around $250 for a 2 inch drop, and the tein were $140 shipped for a 1.7 drop. Most reviews said the tein springs were a waste of money because they lowered the car very little; but being my daily driver and the fact I'm 30 years old I wanted something soft. The s tech springs were double the spring rate of the factory springs but don't seem to ride any differently
I should also mention the bump stops on the struts seemed to have seen some abuse so I am certain they were sagging lower than the we're intended to
It also helps that I am running the factory 14 inch wheels with the factory size tires, pictures I have seen of a 15inch rim and a low profile tire make these springs look almost like stock
