Default eibachs vs. off brands??

i was wondering if there was any difference besides the brand in eibach springs and the off brands like suspension techniques and what not?! cause eibachs are quite expensive and if the other brands do the exact same thing i dont see the point in gettin the expensive ones

springs have more variables than just price and brand. There is quality, drop, spring rate, weight, required damping (shocks) to consider. How will these "variables" change you ride and performance??? Or you can just buy on brand and/or price and find out the good and bad later.

I would do some homework first... but you may not be picky like me or jyou may just get lucky.

If you dont care about quality and how it handles or rides, get the cheapest.

If you are serious, do some research on here (by using the search function), and then you'll realize how much this topic comes up, and why people aren't giving you the answers you are expecting.

You need some Koni's and your choice of spring. Is the simple answer.

Get Strano springs and Koni's and be done!

Save yourself headaches . . . Take Eibach off the list of acceptable springs.
