I'm not too knowledgable about the differences between the two or the mechanics of how coilovers work.

(I would be purchasing NON-ADJUSTABLE Coilovers, so please compare with them)

What would the differences be in terms of:

1. Ride Quality

2. Handling

3. Maintainance

4. Looks/ Lowering


I like the Eibach Pro kit but I want to explore all possible options. Thanks.

there is no such thing as a non-adjustable "coilover". the definition of a coilover is that it is ride height adjustable, while most, but not all are also dampening adjustable.

the ride will probably be better on the eibach setup. handling will probably be better on the coilover setup, provided you actually utilize the purpose of the coilovers and adjust everything. increase in handling will cause a decreas in ride quality though. maintenance, i wouldnt really know. just make sure you get a rebuildable strut, my ksports are.
