Im getting my 19's soon and i need to know which of these two brands is worth the $. I made a research and it seems that Sprints lowers the LS 1.5" F/R, while Eibachs lowers it to 1" f and 1.1" rear.
Im not looking forward to slam it, however I need to read opinions of anyone here who may have either these two and compare.
I want a stiff ride not a bouncy one. So let's compare.

2. how much did you pay for your set?
3. easy install, yes or nay?
4. would you recommend these? why?
5. PROS? CONS?

Eibach makes a good product, lots of members in my group have them, a couple have sprints aswell, its just a matter of what height you want imo.
 
Sprints are lower than eibachs. I have the eibachs and love them. Either way you will ove the look and change in the ride.
 
If you want the lowest drop, I think Sprint goes 1.75 f/r

(edited to change from Intrax to Sprint)
 
I put Eibachs first, the rear went down well, but the front wasn't low enough. I bought a set of stprints and changed out the front ones. Now it's much better.

On some cars the eibachs goes very low on some doesn't.

Here is with stock height:

Here is with Eibachs only:

Here is with Sprints (1.5") front and Eibachs in the rear (1.1"):

No Eibach is 1"

I forget what the Intrax is but the Sprints are lower and the Intrax is not as low as the Sprints. The lowest was from a company called Canuk Motor Sports. I dont think they do them anymore for the LS.
 
that's what they claim... i know couple of people on this site that will tell you its 1.75
 
Yep, all of them are different, maybe my front didn't go down too much, cuz I had a lot of new parts installed some time before that there.

Well tell them to tell me cause they are 1" and a bit more after they settle.


Everyone I consulted with the Eibachs claims they dont lower the car much more than a 1".

So sprints get bouncy but the wont get much lower, the Eibachs stay stiff but they drop more than a half inch from what the manufacturer claims..ok;)

I dont wanna go back and forth posting links and yes depending on miles and suspension variants everyone's car reacts differently but to gain 3/4's more than claimed is a bit to much from a sport/competition style spring.
 
my eibachs didn't drop after they settled down. I did notice that the sprints are more bouncy then the eibachs.
 
I put Sprints in my car and the initial installed measurement difference was 1.25 drop after alignment and road test. I dont know how much they settled as I dont remember the initial measurement before lowering. I can say I dont think my car rides bad at all, I actually wish it were a little stiffer, and I have the Euro strutsI replaced about 12,000 miles ago.

Coke or Pepsi???
 
i have intrax.... they drop the car 1.75 which is ridiculously low for these cars here's a pic of mine on intrax with 20's

i bet if the stock tires and rims where on it, it wouldn't.... i think its the 20's not that its to low
