EIBACH pro-kit vs. H&R sport springs?

I am trying to decide which way to go. Which one do you prefer?

the differences between the two (much like the drop) are minimal. If you're going springs, go H&R supersports.

I have the H&R Sport with 19s. it's just perfect for me since this car is my daily driver and I didn't want too low of a drop where I had to worry about speed bumps and dips in the road. The springs do settle over time which will lower it some more so the initial height after the install is not the final height. I think with Super Sports, you get a very dramatic drop which is what some are looking for. Eibachs only give a modest drop, it's almost stock height.

Eibachs were too low with my w202 and I had a lot of rubbing issues. Go with H&R's. Also, I highly recommend bilstein shocks.

Eibachs here. Nice drop. I get occasional tire rubbing here and there on the big dips. No experience with H&R but I don't think you can go wrong either way. Both from reputable companies.

I would say the H&R's are the safest drop, they'll look great and definitely lowered, and eliminate any rake.
