H&R vs Eibach lowering springs

i dunno if this has been visited lately, but does anyone have any input on this comparison. H&R Sport Spring vs. Eibach Pro-Kit.

here's what i know so far:

H&R produces a little bit more stiffer ride (tire rack test comparison on a BMW 325)
H&R is cheaper than Eibach (tire rack)
Both have proven racing traditions
Both have similar drop heights
more people in this forum drop with Eibach.

my plan is to get one of these fitted to my car with a rear sway bar and produce a more aggressive handling ride for less than $500. i will eventually upgrade wheels and tires.

thanks for your replies.

I have the H&Rs, but unfortunetly they are not on yet, prob not till spring. I liked the drop that they offered. If i put them on sooner ill give you some feedback.

I have both and Eibach has more drop. My H&R springs came as part of a Bilstein B12 kit. I don't know if it is the same. It is considerably stiffer than stock and the Eibachs. The front H&R springs look like a single rate spring and the rear is progressive wound.

thanks guys. i think i'll be going with eibach. i read a really good review on tire rack. i'm pretty convinced about the results of their testing.
