TRD Tundra springs vs. Toytec Eibach springs

So im in a predicament...
I've read a lot about both springs and I'm stuck!
It's basically $100 price difference for me between the two sets, OEM Toyota being pricier obviously. This is my daily driver.
I'm going to be running OME 890 springs in the rear with Bilstein 5100s. Tundra adjustable 5100s in the front. I live in a mountainous region, so lots of windy roads(not running front sway bar so consider body roll.) I do a lot of weekend wheeling, but not carrying a ton of gear all the time (why im choosing 890 over 891). Also no extra front weight (bumpers, etc.) also if it matters much in this application, I have All-Pro uniball UCAs going on with the setup. Like I said, I've done my research on these springs and this is mostly just a last minute decider for me. So if anyone that comes across this post that has run either or both of these springs, now or whenever, with unbiased opinions, I'd like your input. Any pros or cons. Thank you. and please no bashing, I did search, lots haha

I have the Tundra springs. I like them. I ran without the sway bar up until a couple days ago and it was manageable, but I like the feel of the vehicle much more with the front sway bar on. The safety of having it off, vs being able to disconnect the front end links with a wrench I have on me at all times when I need it on the trails didn't seem worth it to me. I have Total Chaos uppers too so similar to your front end or how it will be. I run on the third perch, and have a tube front bumper and carry a mild amount of gear with me at all times.

I really like the ride, especially in dipping and bumpy sections it seems very smooth to me and I have received several compliments from others as well saying how smooth the ride in my 4runner is. I can't compare to the Eibach springs, but I can say I am very happy with the Tundra springs.

Really I don't think you will be disappointed with either choice.
 
I've had both set ups on my 4runner and liked the Eibach's better. The Tundra coils were great, but had a lot of body roll. The Eibach's were much more planted and achieved a full 3" without messing with the different 5100 perch adjustments. I had the Tundra 5100's with the Tundra coils and it was a 2.25-.5" lift on the second setting, but I didn't really want to bump it up to the third fearing the ride quality would decrease.
 
The eibach will be very stiff without extra weight up front, less body roll than my stock struts with spacers which I like but they ride much better with weight up front. I recently added a 100 pound bumper which has improved the ride and didn't lose much hight
 
Can't say about the tundra. But I have the eibachs. And they are great. Smooth offroading with them. I have it on 2nd perch with my tundra 5100
