H&R vs Eibach Pro Kit lowering

I love the ride of my E220 and want to change it as little as possible, however I think she sits a bit to high on the standard AMG 18s", which I also love and don't want to change.

So which lowering kit is recommended with the above in mind?

Cheers

From what I have read, Eibach is a very minimal drop but ride stiffness is close to stock. H&R is a more aggressive drop but significantly stiffer ride. Personally, I went with Brabus and for me it was the best choice. 1 inch drop all the way around (although the front seems to have dropped a little less than the rear) and excellent ride comfort

Eibach are also saying they Pro-kit won't fit my car due to it having the AMG suspension (677), no one else come across this? I see lots of people running these springs

H&R Sport springs are apparently the same as Brabus and are also a 1" drop. H&R Super Sport springs are the more aggressive option. I prefer the milder 1" drop also.

I've read about this also. Although Brabus does not directly admit it, apparently they are made by the same manufacturing plant, but Brabus springs are made to different specs. They do not share what those differences are.
