Default Espelir or Eibach

I was always wanted to lower my s2000. I came across to Espelir springs and Eibach springs. I want to get some feedback about these two springs. The espelir is about $30 cheaper than the Eibach. Which one should I get?

Thanks

I've been debating between the two as well. I've heard good reviews on both. Eibach's give about a 1 inch drop and Espilers go 1.2-1.5 inch I believe. People having been running Eibach's on stock shocks and everything seems okay. I'm not too sure about the Espilers.

I'm leaning towards Eibach's but I'm not sure if it will cover enough of the wheel gap on 17's. I want the car low but not too low. A 1 finger gap or so would do just fine for me.

I love my Eibach Pro Kit. On my MY00 I have a 1-finger gap with the stock 16" wheels and OEM tires (but my finger might be bigger than yours ).

If you go for springs, I think you should also consider Spoon. Spoon springs are made to work with your stock shocks and I think Spoon made their springs more precise than others.

How is the ride and handling on your car. I'm still debating... springs will save me $600 over megan coilovers.

How much do spoon springs lower the ride height by?
