For sport springs what exactly is the better brand? Eibach or H&R? And exactly how far do they lower your car compared to a stock tour?

The H&R's will lower the car more thn the Eibach but I'm not sure how much. I put my Eibachs and Konis in last Monday and it dropped it about an 1"1/2 in the back and an 1"1/4 in the front. They might settle in a little more also. I am very pleased with the ride and it made a tremendous difference in handling.

you by any chance have a pic of your car...sounds like its bad ass

Try using the search feature. You find soooo much info on this subject!

Eibachs are lower in the rear than the H&R's but the H&R's are lower in the front. Comparing my SVT with another SVT w/H&R's we found this: H&R's in front were .25" lower and 1" higher in the rear than mine w/Eibachs. Both of us had Koni's.

Both perform very well but some have complained that the H&R's do not handle potholes as well as the Eibach's. The Eibachs are probably slightly softer than the H&R's. With most people it comes down to which spring gives the car the nicest look in their perspective.

This is my car with Koni/Eibach suspension.
