Eibach or H&R

So Im gonna lower my car and Im looking at either sportlines or the H&R race springs. the sportlines would be 450 installed and the H&Rs would be 500 installed. which would you guys go with?

1st of all, I would install myself. If you dont think you can do it, I would do it anyways. It'll teach you something. Its a very simple thing to do, and the How-to on this site is amazing. Save you buttloads of money in the long run.

Also the H&R's are slightly lowerthen sportlines, but i heard people say they have clunking issues. Dont know for sure or how common, but honestly from what I have heard recently, Dont get either! Pedders have best handling but not a low drop, but I heard SSC springs lower great without coilbinding so your still maintain great handling! Im rollin on sportlines and I love them. love the look and stance, but after the lowering wheres off on you, you start to think of the alternitives you could have gone to and if you would have preferred them in the long run.

There's no Pedders bubble.

I have a mac, where you click to vote, looks like a bubble.

"No pedders option"

Just for you Gestapo

it's not that I think I couldn't do it, Ive changed springs before, its that my tools are 1500 kms away. I was thinking about pedders but Im looking for the drop more than handling

if you just want the drop, both the H&R and Eibach's are good quality springs.

The H&R's are lower.

Don't cut your bumpstops.

ZOMG i have one too. I can send you mine and you can put those in the front and be low as ****. Also you can take out your valve springs and use those. They don't do anything anyway, they are just cosmetic pieces
