Default Which lowering springs

I am looking to lower my 98GT.I see Eibach springs for around $230 shipped then I see JDM springs for $100 shipped both on eBay.Just wondering if the Eibachs are worth twice the money and are they twice as good as JDM springs.Anyone know the difference between the two besides the price.Also any other springs out there I should consider.Has anyone owned both of them and could make a comparison.Just looking for some imput from people that have them.

I've heard nice things about H&R. I would go with them on my '03.

eibach to me has a better ride in comfort but the h&r's handle better.

Eibach has done the math on their spring rates.You might check JDM and see if they list their spring rates and make your comparisons.

Please dont put anything with "jdm" in the tittle on an american car...

You cant go wrong with Eibach or H&R. I love my pro-kit.

Sorry I didn't know JDM was a mod for the import cars.Sounds like everyone who has had Eibach springs really likes them.I will have to check on H&R to see what they cost.I want to put a good set of springs on so I don't want to put a set on and have to change them later.I'm don't want to save myself a few bucks and regret it later.Thanks for the info and keep it coming,I am not going to buy for about another week or so.
