2002 C230 Sports Coupe
H&R vs Eibach

I did some searching through this forum and havent found any ideas on which is better for a C230 SportsCoupe: H&R or Eibach? I've read some stuff about other models online and H&R seems to have a better drop. Any comments???

Here but these pics below I took those at the same day when i changed to Eibach and the car now has settle more (lower). I have the 18" wheels which not make the car looks lower but if u go with 19 it will looks good. I am talking about the gap btwn the wheels and the fender. I bought those springs from our members here but you can find those from tireracks.com

mmm. I am debating about lowing my car as well. I live in SF so there are a lot of hills. Should i be looking at getting Eibachs (1.2 drop all around) or h&r. I head H&R drop 1.6....is this true?

are coilovers too stiff?
I dont want to sacrifice right comfort because i will be driving my parents and grandparents from time to time so i dont want them complaining -_-. And I wont be tracking my car or anything. So i guess springs are the best option until i upgrade my car in a couple of years.
