Default TRD or Eibach Lowering Springs

i want to lower my 08 tC, but not so drastically, so i am undecided between TRD, and the Eibach pro lowering Springs, my car currently has 18" enkei emx super 7 wheels on 225-40/18 toyo proxes 4's..i would appreciate some feedback on these two lowering springs i am deciding over, but not sure which is the better of the 2, oh and i also have the TRD Performance Shocks/Struts kit already installed.

Well I currently have the Eibach Pro-kit springs on my tC and they handle very well... The problem with me having the Eibach's is the ride height, it's sitting to high for me... I am eventually going to go with some Tein H-Tech's...

thanks thats a plus for the Eibach Pro-kit springs, and for me i really dont want to go that low, i like the lowering rate that both have, which i believe are the same, and also considering i just added the lip kit (see my pics)

I saw that under your suspension mods you are going all TRD. If the ride height is similar to the Eibach's I would go with TRD, just to keep it in the same ballfield

I can't say too much about eiboch except that they make good springs. I personally have the TRD's love them. They eliminated the wheel gap enough to where it looks good and I don't have to worry every time I hit a pot hole. You sort of get the best of both worlds.
