H&R or Eibach Springs
Looking at buying a new set of shocks and springs. Currently looking at Koni Yellow Adjustable shocks but am torn on spring choice. I'm looking for good control without sacrificing too much comfort.
Currently it's between the H&R Sport Springs & Eibach Pro-Kit. Even looked at the Vogtland Springs. I'm hearing Eibach would be the most comfortable due to it's progressive rate springs...can someone with these units confirm?
Would everyone with these mods be so nice and post a pic of their setups and ride height. Also please indicate what kind of OEM spring pads you used I would be much obliged.
Thanks in advance.

I have had the eibach and koni set up in the past and loved it. The springs dropped the car about .75" in the front and 1" in the rear. The handling increase was amazing although there is still a little body role, nosedive, and acceleration squat. The setup works nicely, it is smooth, comfortable, and great for everyday driving. Hopefully your roads are smooth as well though. I always had my konis adjusted to the stiffest level because racecar, but i'm sure if you adjusted them to moderate/soft the ride would be much smoother on rough roads.
Now I have KSport coilovers and they are heavenly because they have 36 way adjustable damping and ride height
