Eibach Pro-Kit vs. H&R Sport Spring

[WolfsFang]

would like to know what one is more favorable. how long to each last? what sages more over time? what one is the best bag for my buck? i like the H&R sport springs on how they lower the front a little more. i ordered H&R springs from a shop but they were back ordered for 2 months. they offered me Eibach Pro-Kit, wondering if i should take the offer. i found a little chart on tirerack.com. i dont care for how bumpy it will be, i prefer how it handles over anything.

*edit* im getting koni sport's if that makes a difference.

Eibach Pro-Kit vs. H&R Sport Spring Ride & Drive

I have had both. H&R will be stiffer than PRO KIT. With Koni, I would go with H&R.

thanks for the fast reply. i ordered the H&R and just waiting for the koni to come in not even funny how shot my stock suspension is.

Ive personally had H&R Sports on almost all my vehicles,

'94 Accord EXR- Handling 9 out 10
Ride & Quality 8 out 10

'95 Talon Tsi - Handling 10 out 10
Ride & Quality 8.9 out 10

'99 540i - Handling 7.9 out 10
Ride & Quality 6.9 out 10


As, you can see it improved a lot for the cars that were either,
1. Accord not being a performance vehicle to begin with, Although the ride was a bit stiff especially on bumpy roads made it to bouncy.

2. Talon made it handle great, good ride, and probably the best for all around out of the three cars I had used them on.

3. 540i, Made the ride way to harsh, front sagged a lot and gave it the "rake" look. Too stiff, Bounces a lot! on even some of the smoothess roads.

Accord I used them on it for about 2yrs til I sold the car. Talon had em on there for about 5 months before it was written off. 540i after about 6mths just went to crap.

Hope that helps. I thnk I will be trying out Eibachs this time around on my 2gb Talon.

Well, I can recommend the Pro-kits… I have never tried the H&R springs though so I have no comparison.

I have run the Pro-kits on my car for a full season (autocross) with the Koni Yellow dampers and I have never had an problem with ride quality…I drive the car to and from all the events, some more than 150 miles one way and I feel that the ride quality is not much harsher than stock. I have had them for about a year and a half so I can’t comment on the sag in the long term but, have not noticed any yet.

The H&R's lower the car more and also have much higher spring rates. (stiffer)

they only lower it around .2" more. im just hoping that when i get my 17x9 (235) wheels that the car wont be to low XD. also would i need a chamber kit?

You should get a camber kit unless you want a negative camber. You'll hear people tell you to just an alignment and correct the toe and you'll be fine. This is doable, but having a camber kit will bring everything back to specs.

H&R and Koni yellows.

That is a great set up.

eibachs seem to last pretty much forever....but they are definately too soft in the rear if wanna launch it. even with the agx's dialed all the way up shes a squatter.

so basically..yeah im jealous. koni's and h&r's or gc's are going on the auto...
