Default Springs, opinions please!

I have an 02 AP1 with about 80k miles on it. Its my daily driver and I drive about 60 miles a day!

Anyway, I am looking to lower the car. I heard Eibach Pro Kit works great with stock shocks, but mine have so many miles on them i was debating getting new shocks and springs to replace mine.

I found this in our For Sale section:

https://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=683367

Tien springs, already mounted on AP2 shocks with very low miles. Seems like a great price, and I wouldnt have to worry about mounting the springs. Just a "simple" swap out.


What are your opinions of these springs? At this point, is there a better spring/shock combo to go with since I will probably want to replace both?

OR - Should I get the Eibach Pro Kit and keep my current shocks?

Thanks!

The Tein springs are indeed comfy, however installing the spring on the damper isn't at all a hard part of a suspension install as your logic suggests

I've had my Tein S-techs for about a year now. They have a nice ride. Although, the drop isn't as much as some would like.
