You can screw up springs. Not using the high quality material, some springs sag faster than others. Why else would Ground Control use Eibach springs and not others? Granted, there are only a few actual spring manufacturer's in the market, but there are differences.
Arn't eibach springs the ones that settle unevenly? I've read many complaints about that.

regardless, I don't think honda uses that much higher quality metal than these tenzo springs. And like you brought up, tenzo just gets them from a supplier and throws them into a box labeled tenzoR.

When I think of "quality" springs, I think of good spring rates. these tenzo springs are soft, but thats aside the point. h:

Eh, I cant say I agree with you on the quality = spring rates.

I mean, spring rates change with time, I see quality as how long a certain spring can stay within spec of first being manufactured.

I must also say that I am biased against companys such as Matrix, APC, and TenzoR, because of their reputation as a cheap, quickfix company.
