You wanna take the edge of it or you wanna lower it ?

Tein are favoured as in most peoples mind they give the best height which is lower then the eibachs

I think eibachs lower 15mm front 10mm back

Tein lower 25mm front 15mm rear but I could be wrong :)

Eibach springs are a lot nicer on the road than Tein, which are rather harsh. Strangely (as everybody seems to say the opposite) my car now sits lower at the front with Eibachs, than it did with Teins. It's a bit higher at the rear than it was though. Overall, it looks, and drives, a lot better now it's on Eibachs.

I'm still really impressed with the Tein S tech springs. Don't think they're harsh at all really.

The Teins didn't seem too bad to me, as that's what my car came with. It was only when I switched to the Eibachs that I noticed the improvement.

Mine's not a IX, but here's a pic with the Tein springs fitted:



And here it is on Eibachs:

tein if i was you they seem to have the best overall lowering that still keeps sharp handling, not low enough to make it skittish
