I have the TRD/Eibachs and am very happy with them. I know Tein is a good company, you'll be one of the few to give us a review if you go that route.

I would personally recommend the Eibachs, especially for the price.

another vote for the Eibach, but since they're not on the list of your choices, go with Tein.

im intrested in the drop.....like an even drop or more of a drop in the front than in the back

I believe they all give you an even drop, its just the front of the car was made with more clearance than the rear (wheel well wise). So it appears there's more of a gap/less drop in the front.

808Camry, that is so true dude! Whenever I have someone in the rear seat the tires rub like no other! I have Eibach and Bilsteins and have been putting up with it but I am now tired of hearing that rubbing noise on a bump or around a corner, so it's time to change.

I am happy with my Eibachs, except there is a bit more of a fender gap in the front then I would like...but they handle well and come with a million mile warranty, Tein offers a one year warranty I think...but people sound happy with the drop Tein provides. But out of the three you suggested, Tein is the best...I've haven't heard good things about Intrax and Sprint besides the aggressive drop...you can checkout carreview.com...I think they have some customer testimonials you can look into. Good luck.

I would go with Tein or Eibach's Both are good company's.

I personally have the tein's and i like the ride. The drop is even, I have about a 1.5 finger gap all around. If you have a v6 you shouldn't have to worry about the drop being cuz the v6 solara's with eibachs tend to sit a little more even. The i-4 is lighter causing the eibachs to sit higher in the front due to the weight.

But both are very good Companys, Also if you have funds i would recommend the Tein CO kit. Or the JIC CO kit. Im thinking of changing to the JIC FLT A1.

I got more drop in the front than in the back w/stock wheels but when I put my 18's on now there is only a .5" difference lower from the front than the back (hardly noticable). But I love it! I would like a lower drop though. Its not as low as I thought it would be. i.e. (wheel well closer to the tires)

Vogtland / Tokico 1.5" drop f/r
