H&R or Eibach?? Help

Ok...

I just got off the phone with the shop that's putting on my springs...It will take them till Tuesday to recieve Eibach Prokits... or they can get me H&R sports springs installed tommorow.
They are both the same price!

My question is, what is the better spring? I know Eibachs are more expensive, but is there a major difference?

Should I settle for the H&R's or wait for Eibachs?

Eibachs, the only way to fly. I would wait since the price is the same might as well get your moneys worth with the best product.

I have H&R Sports springs, they drop 1.75/1.5

IMO, it looks like a good drop. No camber kit is needed. On the other hand, Eibach pro kit lowers more than H&R, and it would need a camber kit. Someone correct me if 'm wrong.

I think the pro-kit is not much lower I think like 1.85/1.75 so likely the camber kit is not needed.

Has anyone seen any excessive tire wear from using Eibach / H&R springs? Even though no camber kit, I don't think the rear systems are adjustable enough to correct back to stock specs.

I was thinking springs, shocks, but wary that I might also invest in a camber correction kit as well.

Good choice, you will be happy with the Eibach... no camber problems on my car either... -1.3 degrees on the rear driver side and -0.9 degrees on the rear passenger side.

No wear problems either with 17x7.5" rims with 225/45 profile tires.
