Eibach Pro Kit or Tanabe GF210 Springs?

[DuckieTom]

I recently got new Bilstein struts (front & rear) and installed it with the stock springs I had on my 89 Supra. I removed the old TEMS System. The Bilstein raised my car a little bit higher than original stock height approx 1/4 inch. I am in need of new springs for my car.

Three things I am looking for in the new springs are:
1. Comfort (Most important)
2. Performance
3. Lowering my car but not having it too low that I would have trouble getting off my driveway or trouble going over bumps.

Eibach Pro Kit and Tanabe GF210 springs are approx. $250.00/set; each with different drop specs. Which set should I go for? Any suggestion is greatly appreciated.

I'm using the tanabe springs. They're not as stiff as the eibachs - at times I wish they were a bit stiffer but overall I'm reasonably happy with them. I can't comment on the drop since my shocks have height-adjustable perches.

jscspeed.com has the eibach for $229

I'm using Tanabe springs with Tokico ILLUMINA II / TEMS and it's a great combination. I had the same issue with lowering too much with my driveway being on a hill.

Bilstein are height adjustable, no?

The Bilstein i got are yellow with blue letters on them. They are not height adjustable. I got 2 fronts and 2 rear NIB for $130.00 clearance at a Toyota Dealer in Carlsbad. I brought it because my stocks were giving out.

i have height adj. bilsteins with eibachs. there not low enough for my taste and they dont handle in the turns that great.

i would rather have the h&r's with the bilsteins. personal pref tho.

Thanks guys. Really appreciate all the input.
Ill update this post once I put in new springs. It'll be a suprise.

eibachs here with tokico hps, love the height, could be a lil bit lowered but not much more. Love the ride, firm and stick to the ground.

Got the tanabe here and overall it is basically what you wanted in my opinion but then again I Like my cars really aggressive so it's not quite my fav, but also I've never ridden on eibach (other than on my wifes focus which handles amazing after that) so I can't really say bout them in a supra

I'm planning on getting Illumina II's and Eibachs, anyone know of better prices than $360 and $231 respectively (maybe a combo deal)?

horsepower freaks has the struts at a good price and jscspeed has the eibach's at a good price also

 

[DuckieTom]

Ok guys, I finally got it all done. Replaced my stocks springs with the Eibach Pro Kit #8211.140 and used the Bilstein struts I recently installed. The car handles quite well on the turns. The height is not too low which is just how I like it.

Thanks for all the feedback guys.
