also depends on how far you want to drop it...
eibach prokit is like 1.4 in front and 1.3 in back for the p5 while TEIN tech are 1.8 all around i think. so just know how low you want to go, thinking of where you drive daily, and the spring rate also.

I have the TEINs, they are fine...I was actually pretty impressed..

They are not progressive, just a fixed spring rate...so the ride quality suffers a bit more than with the Eibach's...but they are stiffer overall, so once equipped with proper damping, they are better for handling...

FYI -

For the P5:

Eibach = 1.4F 1.2R

Tein = 1.8F 1.5R

I picked my Eibach's up local from Discount Tire for $210 OTD (Out The Door.) I love them! Heard nothing but good about Tein as well. Either way you won't go wrong.....

Talking Thankx

I think that for 20.00 or 30.00 dollars more I better get the Eibach's because they are not as low. I don't know if the Teins will give me problems driving in the snow.

Does Any one of you have a Pick of a P5 with the Eibach's or the Teins on it, with the original wheels? I will like too see the difference on how does it look

Thanks a lot for all the comments ....

I got my TEIN's a while ago for $180 shipped. I was finally able to get them in the car last week, and today I got the aligment done by the dealer under warranty.

I love the drop. My wife has another P5 and the diference is not that much. They will give you a stiffer ride, but is not that bad, and the driving is much better now. I can post pictures later today.
