Well, the MTM springs cost ~2x as much with little or no benefit over regular Eibachs.
Also, I believe that the MTM springs are in fact Eibach springs. The spring rates may be a little different, but not enough to warrent the price IMO.

For installers...
Check out AWE Tuning for all sorts of goodies. I have no experience with them, but they have a good reputation on here and they're in Philly.

RYOu are wrong. The Eibach pro kit actually has lower spring rates( more)
Pro kit has a lower spring rate than the stock spring so the car will definitely need a shock upgrade. The MTM have higher spring rate than Eibach and stock. I had the pro kit for a week and then sold it because the car would wobble a lot more. It fel wierd and unstable. With the MTMT I got a helluva better ride and the firms theat I need in a sports sedan but not harshness of a race car. So the MTM although made by Eibach but they are actually designed for the S4. If you look at the pro kit for the A4 and S4, boht have teh same spring rates.

Sorry, you're wrong. The Eibach springs are a bit firmer than stock (more)
See LG S4's #'s above, the front springs definitely have a higher spring rate
than stock, and although I think the rear is just slightly less, also keep in mind these are progressive springs, so you cannot simply compare them to a linear rate spring. And there are separate Eibach springs for the A4 and S4. Sorry
you had a bad experience but I have ridden in an Eibach'd S4 and have only
good things to say.
