I've seen a bunch of pics of CL members with the Eibach Pro-kit installed, and only one with the H&R's. Does anyone else have pics with these installed? i'm trying to make my decision between these two.

I have seen one and it is the best spring setup I have seen. It doesn't leave the *** end high like the IS250 eibach kit. I would say if you are interested in springs to either get H&R, Espelir, or Hotchkis.

Thanks. i think i'll probably go with the H&R's since i like the drop better. If anyone has pics, that would be great. Is the ride still smooth with H&R's?

Might want to consider Hotchkis as well. They provide a similar drop to H&R just a smidge higher. The cool thing with Hotchkis is they come with new bump stops.

Does anyone have pics with any of these set up installed? I'm trying to make my decision between these two brands too.....ohh on stock wheels if possible.

If i were getting springs, I would get the Hotchkis hands down. They come with new bump stops and that alone is worth it. Not to mention I saw a car with them on at SEMA and it looked great with the stock tire sizes. I imagine if you go with a 30 series rear tire and 35 series front tire you may want something like H&R or Espelir to get a more even drop, but with the stock tires being way meatier than the stock front tires the Hotchkis is the bomb.

i want the more even drop that the H&R's give. The Hotchkis springs seem to give a similar drop to the Pro-kit.

If you are going to keep the stock tire size the Hotchkis will provide and even fender gap all around. If you are going to run a smaller diameter rear tire then front tire, then you may want espelir or H&R.

honestly i just put them on almost two weeks ago.. my feed back.. for springs its a nice drop that you cant complain about considering they are springs.. definitely gives the car a better stance! thumbs up to that! as for ride quality its pretty smooth but its harsher over bumps.. even road imperfections that look smooth its kinda bumpy.. thats what i dont like.. although you gotta sacrifice a little to gain a little.. handlings more responsive and body roll as lessened.. all in all.. i wish i didnt go the cheap route and got the tein cs coilovers.. which i'll get eventually

H&R are a pretty aggressive drop, keep in mind the lower you go the firmer it is going to be. But all in all that is why I got Tein CS because I thought my Eibachs rode to stiff and the car sat lower on the driverside, noticably. Now my car is level and rides smooth. I do have to have the driver side cranked up a couple turns to make it level. For whatever reason these cars seem heavier on the driverside, even without the driver in their. Toyota trucks do the same thing by leaning, alot, on the driver side. The only way to correct the situation is to get coilovers so you can compensate with preload.
