Ride looks savage man. I have been having a tough time finding what I would like for the 2016 tC but it seems I may have found some answers.


How are the eibach springs compared to tien?

 

I never used the Tein springs or coilovers but I can tell that the Eibach are really good. Looking at my car now I do feel their is a dramatic hike to my car, especially with the lip or maybe I'm just picky. But besides that I love them. I got them in June and haven't had a issues. Note though, (this is probably a super novice mistake) but if you buy lowering springs. remove the black covering on them. Lol I had them on and heard squeaking for about 2-3 months.

Yea, going from stock to any lowering springs I thing you'll notice the difference on how much the car is a monster truck at its stock stance to how much better handling and visually appealing the car gets.

 

This is update number 1 here. So since the initial post, I've installed the CNT S-Pipe, the Ikon front lip, HID 15000K and 168 Purple LED bulbs. The car is now a little louder and I do here a little drone noise at low RPM. I'm still debating on what I'm going to do about that. Since the lip being installed, I scrap quite a bit now as usual. Luckily the front lip is just polyurethan so it's able to eat up a lot of the scapes, bags and bumps. Next I bought HIDs. Little did I know you needed to buy the conversion kit and not just bulbs . So I have an extra pair of HID bulbs 6000K from the conversion kit. Lastly I installed the daytime/parking light bulbs to purple LEDs. I do like my progress. I haven't made much change but like where my car is going.

As far as next upgrades. I doubts it will be anything on that list but maybe some more little changes.

Kinda an old post to reply to, but in case this helps someone else down the line. I've had both on the tC2. Tein S-Techs are far superior in this application in both ride quality and handling. I started with the Eibach's as I liked them on my last car, but they never stopped creaking when turning and they rode fairly harsh with summer tires (= worse for all seasons). The Tein's don't have either of these problems. 100% recommend Tein over Eibach for this car. Regardless of what you choose, I would pick up a set of RUCA's so you can adjust the rear camber after the drop.
