Both Techart and GMG springs are made by Eibach. The GMG units have a slightly higher spring rate than the Techarts

my impressions

In my opinion, the Techart springs give 90% of the improvement of the PSS10's at 33% the hardware cost. Both are major improvements vs stock

The only downside to springs is front end scraping, but they all do that including stock. My experience with the Champion/H&R springs mirror Gene's impressions and those found in Excellence magazine. A noted improvement over stock, definitely worthwhile.

thanks ecolu, but what do you mean with the higher spring rate on gmg, is that better, or slightly lower is better, i cant decide between the 2. i am sure you will be biased towards the techart as you have then

oh annd whats the drop , is it 20 mm, just like the gmg?

I have the GMG springs. Ride is very similar but slightly stiffer than stock. Lowered height is perfect.

A worthwhile mod although install can be expensive.

as Chris said, the GMG springs are just a bit stiffer than the Techarts. I have never ridden on the GMG but expect them to be as satisfying as the Techarts
