Can someone give me an idea of the differences between the two springs. I love the way my current set up Eibach with HD but honestly it will look even better with the lower height. Any idea?
Many Thanks,

Eibach is softer and will lower car more. H&R is generally favored over Eibach due to better quality. However, if you're happy with your Eibach springs, keep them. It is not worth the expense to change them.

The H&R springs will lower the car 1.4" in front and 1.3" in rear, as I recall from my research. I don't have the specs on the Eibachs but as Viken says, they will lower your car more.
I was not happy with my H&R springs until I installed Bilstein HD's all around. Now I love the springs.

Thanks. My current setup give me a very comfortable ride at low speed, over small bumps. Amazing what progressive spring can do, and at high speed corner it feel very stable as well. I ordered my adjustable sway bay to tame the body roll further but the car will look really good if the all the fender gaps are gone. Now I have about half an inch (approx) left and there is no more room to adjust. Better wait until I needed to change to PSS9?

Oh and just for everybodies interest the Eibach lower the ride height as follow.... F/1.3 R/1.0
So the H&R lower slight more at the Front 0.1 and a touch more at the Rear 0.3
Actually I still have quite a bit more to lower down at the rear but just running out of thread at the front.
By the way is it normal for H&R or Eibach to have differences in length withing a set, like half an inch differences or in variation in spring rate?
