H&R Vs Eibach
 
Which would you recommend? I'm thinking H&R because they drop more. Thoughts? Any before and after pics.?

Really no one has lowering springs or anything.

If your looking for a cheap option Awe offers H&R + Bilistein Combo for $710. The drop is a little more and the ride is much stiffer. I think Gigi ran H&R + Koni yellow, but then switched to Eibach and FSD? and liked the ride much more. maybe that will help. There was a pretty long thread about this a few months ago with pics. Ill try to find it

yo, they finally fixed the forum... I am back.
I did have H&R springs only, then H&R with Koni Yellows, then Eibach and FSD's
H&R springs alone is a no no IMO, it'll drop the car and look real nice but man it'll ride like s**t, you'll bottom out, rub probably and KILL your OEM shocks.
H&R with Koni Yellows/sports was much better in terms of handling (on smooth pavement anyway, less rubbing and no bottoming out, but is is an extremely harsh combo, so you gotta liek that and be okay to live with this daily! I could not especially with my wife and kids bitching about it all the time. Also the stiffness meant less ashesion to non smooth pavement.
Eibach springs lower the car a little less and have a less aggressive spring rate.
I got them with the Koni FSDs and sold my H&R/Koni Yellows combo.
The ride is much better, not quite as low but looks good still, and I gave up a little handling (a little more roll) but well worth it... I don't track it and it does well in aggressive driving.

I know man I was unable to post for about a month. I may try one of these combos next summer if I keep the car. I really hate the wheel gap and body roll, but just cant throw money at a car I'm leaving at home.

Hey formulagigi, I'm lookin to do this soon, and what you have on there now sounds about what I want. Does your sig have this combo, and is there anything I could do about the roll?

formulagigi 08-06-2008 12:19 PM

Yes my sig is with the current FSD/Eibach setup.
Add Hsport sway bars for roll control improvement.
