Default Eibach vs. Tein Springs?

Im lookin for the springs with the lower drop untill the coil overs I want are released. Eibach claims to have the lowest drop, but Tein shows more inches lowered on there description? Any help?

S-Tech's are the lowest. 1.8" drop for the rear, 1.5" for the front. Eibach is slightly less, I think they are 1.7" in the rear & 1.4"or 1.3" in the front. Eibach will ride better. S-Techs are the stiffest rated spring, while the Eibach's are progressive.
Pics I have seen of TC2's with Eibach springs vs. my own with S-Techs.. I barely can tell the difference.

I'd just wait it out for coilovers, you've been on 4x4 mode this whole time, then you'll have to deal with selling the springs once you get the coilovers. Do it right, one time the first time, so you won't have any worries and save on $$$(vote is for coilovers). How many miles are on your current shocks?

On TEIN's website, it states that their S-techs are progressive

^Aftermarket spring replacements of OEM are going to be progressive, done mainly to give comfort in street driving. Linear is seen on adjustable coil-over setups.

I preordered my KSports, and I have S-techs. I already have a buyer for my S-Techs.
