Default Eibach pro kit VS. H&R

well im facing a dilemma as to which srpings to buy for my car. I recently bought linea corse lemans which are 19x8.5 and 19x10 the offsets are somewhere in the 40s. I would like to have your guys input on which set of springs would be better for me. Im looking for a nice low drop without too much rubbing. Comfort is also an important factor as well as durability. Any help is appreciated, thanks

eyy man i seen your car around. what size are your tires? cause the series that come in a package with those wheels are pretty chunky. Eibach pro for the is350 gives a good drop and from what i heard they are comfortable. H&Rs give a good drop also but i dont know about comfort.

Go Eibach.

If comfort is a priority, then the Eibach 350's are a good choice. I've had them on my IS350 since May of with 19" wheels/Toyo T1R tires, comfort is reasonably good.

i would go with the eibach springs for the 250, comfort is good, and my offsets are +27 in the front and +30 in the rear, 225/40/18 and 245/40/18 nor rub at all

^^ your on 18" rims tho he's on 19 :P

the only difference between Eibach IS250(not 350, eibach 350 springs don't drop as much) springs and H&R springs is the drop in the rear,

H&R 1.4 front 1.3 rear
Eibach is250 - 1.4 front 1.0 rear.

depending on your offsets i'd go w/ the eibachs if you where running something more aggressive in the rear and didn't wanna rub, but i don't think you have a very aggressive fitament in the rear so you should be able to run the H&R. also i love my H&R's the ride quality is fine, a tad rougher than stock. i have no idea if/how much you'd rub either, i don't know much about offsets

Eibach 250 should be good for you on 19". I have H&R on 18" and I rub with a full car. Comfort wise it will be stiffer, but less bouncy. My mom preferred the ride of H&R after I changed it, and she didn't know I did, she just thought that the suspension settled. haha
Eibach 250 or 350 if you're worried about rubbing, H&R if you want that sexy aggressive look.
