Eibach vs H&R
Hevoshullu:
I just swapped my Sportlines to the H&R (part 29176-1) because I wasnt happy with the forward rake with the Sportlines (ie. rear was higher). From what I've seen in pictures from other H&R owners' cars the lowering seemed spot on, a little lower than Sportlines with a neutral stance. However, at least initially, the drop on my H&R's was a bit of a disappointment. I would say the car is now actually around 10mm higher than on my previous springs, the Sportlines. I know you need to let the springs "settle" to reveal the final stance but right now there is quite a lot to be settled so I am a bit skeptical. Has anyone else had similar experiences with the H&R's - that they will actually settle down a good amount after the first few hundred miles? I will put up a picture after I've let them settle for a few days and got some miles on them too.
Shoduchi:
They will settle, just ask @rich83. :wink:
I'm in the same process, my mechanic just fitted the H&R springs and new Koni Sport dampers. I had Sportlines fitted before.
rich83:
Yeah they do settle.... Cant say that I am that impressed with the H&R springs to be honest. The rear ones IMO are not very well designed.

Because of the rust or for another reason? :confused:
rich83:
Yeah that and the fact that half the coils sit on each other.
