Default EIBACH Pro-Kit or H&R Sport Springs

ATM Im only looking for Springs not enough $$ atm for C/O. I want a very small drop and the smoothest ride. Here's what Im lookin at atm.

EIBACH Pro-Kit Coil Springs $209 Shipped
Part #8284.14
Front Drop 1.2 in
Rear Drop 1.2 in

H&R Sport Spring $242 Shipped
Part #54608

Anyone got these springs on their TC's that could post pics or say how they ride? Or any other suggestions on Springs that ride well but dont drop too much.

That's where I got mine and love them. Eibach is another good name, but I'm definitely happy with my H&Rs (they are paired with Tokico struts, btw).

Default thanx bro

If I run either of these 2 springs will it eventually blow my stock shocks? Should I just get coilovers?

On your setup what Tokicos did you get. And what did you do to run the Tokico and H&R setup? Parts or Modification wise?

Eventually your stock struts will blow no matter what. Using them with lowering springs could accelerate that, but there's no way to know if your OEM struts will last 10 miles or 100,000. I was on mine for probably 40k without issues and Hotchkis springs.

I installed the Tokico HP struts when I switched to H&R Sport springs. Nothing special to use them, the Tokicos are pretty much like an OEM bolt on (can get them on eBay for $350 shipped). No major modification, they just require the upper strut mounts from your OEM setup.

As for just getting coilovers... that's up to you. Ideally, if you can afford them, ya, go ahead. But if you don't need the height adjustability, and just want an OEM replacement, there's not much point other than to say you have coilovers - unless you get one of the coilover sets with adjustable dampening. Which again, is only useful if you plan on adjusting it (racing? autox?).
