Default Eibach springs or coilovers???

I bought some eibach sport springs for my roadster which currently sit on 20's.. I haven't install the springs yet and now have the chance to buy some Tien Basic coilovers at a deal.
I like the idea of controlling the height with coilovers but wanted your opinion...

Coilovers!!!!! you will most likely get somewhat of a better ride than lowering springs and you won't kill your struts. (seems like everyone has a different experience).

no eibach springs if you want springs go with the tein sport style springs i would go with coilovers over springs any day but if you are set on springs then those are the way to go

It all depends on what you are wanting to achieve. Eibach techs told me that if I plan on racing my car at all, then to go w/ the coilovers... if it's a daily driver, then lowering springs and if you need new shocks, then get some good aftermarket shocks, though the stock ones should be good if your miles are low enough on 'em.

Bottom line... it's a preference for what you are trying to achieve w/ your set up.

For a DD car Eibach springs and good dampers ride better than just about any coilovers IMO. You are also limited to the set drop height and damping level. If the drop they offer is acceptable to you and you want a mild street level of comfort Eibach springs might be the way to go for you.
If you want adjustability for height and damping level than step up to some coilovers.
