Default Techarts Springs - rebadged Eibachs or H&Rs?

Can someone please confirm if Techart lowering springs are either rebadged Eibach or H&Rs? Not sure if this matters, but it's for a 2006 C4S cab.

I've been hearing different answers from my shop and people on this board. Does anyone know for certain?

Thanks!

Default I have Eibach (not installed)

and a local Tech Art Dealer is trying to put me into Tech Art which he says is H&R.

Eibach lowers the car 1.2", where as H&R is about 1"

Either way I think that Eibach and H&R have great reputations and they are the only two manufacturers of the springs for our cars (others relabel these products as there own)

I know this is an older thread but I thought to respond anyway. Techart springs are made by Eibach but to Techart specifications. They are a little longer than the H&R's so the H&R's will lower that car a little more than the Techart's.

They are made by Eibach. I spoke to Eibach about this 2 weeks ago so it is 100%.

I would recommend Eibach over H&R as the ride is better with the Eibach's.

As stated, they are made by eibach for TA to their specs. I think the TechArt gives the best ride hieght, or cargraphic. Both lower the car 15mm. I don't like H&Rs. They lower the car too much for just springs, imho, and they give the car a really raked look (front lower than the back) that I don't like.
