Eibach vs H&R
GLIDN:
Having driven in Manual and DSG gti's with both H&R's and also Eibach's fitted.
Personally, the Eibach's was a much better drive, smoother and absorbed bumps better.
As alex has pointed out, it does tend to lower the front more than the rear thou.
with the H&R's, I found the springs to not really be as forgiving as the Eibach or OEM.
Also uneven surfaces are more noticeable with H&R's fitted.
Even lowering thou.
Either way you go. The horrible factory rear bounce from the OEM springs on the highway are gone.
Actually, I have driven a car with APEX springs. It was by far the closest for lowering and bump absorbing as per OEM.
So for a cheap springs the APEX work very well.
If I had to choose between your 2 options I would always pick the eibach's over the H&R's.

100% happy with my H&R springs. Just the right amount of drop to make it handle better but not be so low you have to pussyfoot around.... And the ride is almost as comfortable as stock :happy2:

Happy with the drop and performance of my H&R springs too. As others have said they're lower than the Eibachs but not too low.

There you have it Rich, same answer from all H&R owners.
Eibach honestly drives nicer than stock 100% of the time.

So softer? More compliant?
