Default Tein S-Tech or Eibach?

I'm getting RH J8's or J5's soon and I want to drop the car a little and I was recommended these two springs but which one between the two would you guys choose??

Depends what drop you want. Eibach is 1 inch and the S-Tech is .7 front and .6 rear

Some people have had really weird camber issues with the Eibach, and some have had some ackward sagging. I hear the ride is really nice though.

I had S.Tech's, and the ride height is perfect (in my opinion), and didn't throw my camber out of whack too bad.

(they are also now for sale since I upgraded to full coilovers <shameless plug> )

Yeah, I dont want to be slammed. Just minimize the gap and have a good ride. It is a fairly inexpensive mod is the only reason I'm looking. Thanks though. I was thinking the Teins too. What is all this talk about camber kits? Would I need one? I heard some people just went in and got an alignment.

The camber will depend on how much you lower your car, and several other mystical factors. Some people have installed the Eibach springs, and were able to get the car back into spec relitively easy. Others, I have seen personally, had to get multiple alignments, get camber kits, etc, and its still not in spec. I think because the Eibach kits tend to sag irregularly.

Just my opinion.

I'd recommend the Tein's as well. I liked the springs, and I LOVE the coilovers.

Yeah, i'd love the coilovers, especially with the EFDC but for now that is not as much money as i'm looking to spend on suspension. Would I just take it into the dealership and they can align it properly?
