Default NEUSPEED or Eibach?

If NEUSPEED and Eibach, which one is better? Oh I mean lower springs sorry
I know NEUSPEED is more lower but why Eibach is more expensive? more hard?

I've got the Neuspeed. It's a more aggressive drop, but the ride isn't that bad. Just need to take speed bumps and sharp intersections slowly .

Not on your list, but you should add Kg/mm Race springs to your list of contenders.

Just intalled these on 2 S2000s over the weekend and can't be happier. Not sure how close you are to Bulletproof, they have them in stock.

Drop is 1 1/2"

Also might consider Esperlir *sp* on groupbuy now also.

You should be able to find a set of Eibachs for @ $230. The drop is @ 1", which was just what I needed:

BIGPURP - Those are NICE rims. Which are they? 17"?

They look like the '04 - but better and probably lighter too.

Curious if the new rim / tire package along with the Eibachs give you any rubbing headaches.

About the Eibach spring...do you think they are softer than stock?
I don't wanna change the feel that much, but haven't had the chance to ride in an S w/ Eibachs yet.

Thank,
Hockey

I have the Eibach's just to kill the gap on 18" wheels. I didn't want to drop more than an inch - I love the new look. BTW all the pictures you may come across of my car are before the drop - that's why I'm not posting any here.

I am going to 17" wheels, so I am starting to wish I had gone with more drop.

You just need to ask yourself: what do I plan to do? What size wheels/tires am I going to run (now/future)? What kind of driving am I going to be doing?

I've driven S's with Tanabe, Neuspeed, and now Eibachs and I have not noticed a significant difference in ride quality. I will say that the ride on my Eibachs does feel slightly better than stock. My S is my only car, so aside from daily driving I run autoX and will start showing it in the near future
