H&R vs Eibach
Wanting to lower my 08 350 but not sure which springs to go with. Hoping to get some feedback from people with these drops. Also wondering what was done about the rear camber if anything. Thanks for any help.

I've had several friends in the enthusiast car community that have gone with Eibach, I can't speak to either as I'm on Airmatic but both are quality brands. As for camber, alignment is the first thing that should be done after a drop to get you closest to factory spec. If you want full camber adjustment and the ability to run at pretty much stock alignment specs after a drop, then KMAC makes a kit for doing such. It's very expensive though, so your best bet is probably just alignment. Pinebaron did the full KMAC treatment with his Bilstein B16 RideControl coilovers and he said it was well worth it.

Yeah I work at a dealer and I'll align it once I'm done and can use the stock adjustment pins for the front but the rears a concern. I've owned trucks for the last 6 years so I'm kinda outta the loop for aftermarket components. I looked at renntech and it's ridiculous how much a rear kit is. I'm only looking to use the springs for a short time until I get my coil over kit which thankfully has camber adjustment built in.

both brands are known and reputable but id go with Eibachs for a more even drop. I had the H&R on my car and i came so close to cutting the front springs coz it had the reverse rake look which i hated. i was told that theres not much difference when it comes to ride and comfort. you will have a neg camber but it wont be too much. if youre fussy get the camber kit as AMG ^ suggested. i will hold on to my money and wait for the coilovers if i were you. wasted mine on H&R and I wasnt even happy. I ended up with coilovers. just my 2 cents.
