front settled height of tein s. vs eibach sportline

which set of springs ends up being lower in the front once it's setted: tein s. tech or eibach sportlines? the tein s. tech is about as low as im willing to go in it's settled position, but i dont know how low the eibach's go.

im considering switching out to sportlines because of the rear gap on the s. tech's, but only if the eibach is just as low in the front.

Because of the lack of gap, or too much gap?

The differences should be negligible between the Stechs and Sportlines...

The eibach springs should lower your car more, both front and rear. If you want to go more lower, go get Neuspeed Race springs, about 2 inches dropped both in front and rear.

The front and rear sit lower with the Sportlines, and that is coming from a Tein S-Tech owner. The front not that much, but the rear is a pretty noticible difference.

Coming from an S-Tech owner, I believe the Sportlines sit lower in the front and the rear. The front isn't nearly as much as the rear, though.
