H&R VS EIBACH

am gettin lowering springs

which one 2 get
ive heard that they're both almost the same

but the eibach are like 30 pounds more (thats around maybe 55US$)

THANKS

h&r

oh, and theres a huge difference in drop

1'' eibach drop
vs
1.7'' h&r

wow that was a quick reply

thanks

i'll post some pictures after the drop

actually my eibachs said right on em 1.5 and 1.3 drop

I want to bring this to the top to get a real answer on the original question. What the hell's the difference. Because it's only a $10 difference, and they both look exactly the same and have the same specs for drop. So what's the difference?

H&R`s are the best by far.
A lot stiffer (Eibachs are almost stock-like, a bit stiffer, but not much).

I ran on H&R`s for 1.5 years or so, no problems at all.

on ground controls now, and I love it
Thinking of getting some ZX2 struts and Eibachs or something for winterdriving, damn snow

-nope

My H&Rs dropped more, 2 front and 1.5 rear if it means anything to you, they are also stiffer/harsher ride then any lowered car ive riden in.. if your roads are smooth, consider them

from the pics i've seen it makes ur car look kind of dorky having no wheel gap in ur fronts and some left in ur rear where eibachs seem to be pretty even gap>

Well, I wanted Eibachs based on this review ..... but Eibachs are on backorder until mid-June. So I had to go with H&R, and even those were the last in Tire Rack's Indiana stock. What's with the shortage of MX3 springs?

old car, not much sales.
That`s what I`m guessing.

Seems I might be selling my Mx3 soon, and I`m thinking of removing the Konis with the custom GC setup, so that might be for sale on here soon.

Put on some stock (or maybe som gr-2`s or tokico blues, with some cheap tuv approved springs).

If I sell it, theres a big change I`m getting a Lexus IS200.

-nope

Im gonna be going the ZX2+Eibach route real soon....when you odrer your springs do you order the MX-3 springs or the ZX2 springs.

I would think is makes sense to get the ZX2 spring made for the ZX2 strut no?

they match up with the car not with the spring???

they will have diff spring rates... i'd go with the mx-3 springs

No. Especially if you've got the V6 then the spring rates will be completely off.
