I think the H & R will give you a lower drop. The other regular post whoring guys will be here shorty to add their input. (jjashaa..... lol)

Actually he is a pretty good guy, really helpful around the forums.

H&R is stiffer supposedly...

i don't kno anymore... its a biased thing between those two.

Gfaze

What drop does the car in the pics have?

twistedwedge

It doesnt have a drop..its got lift blocks..lol j/k j/k

Seriously though-dont the eibach pros give a little more of a drop?

Either spring is good..I just voted for what I have

Gfaze

Eh, I assumed he had put in something already.

fsttyms1

H&R isnt any stiffer. You want stiffer change the shocks.

I have H&R Sports on for my drop I think it sits pretty damn nice. I never had any experience with the eibach springs so ofcourse Im going to say H&R.

As far as stiffness Mine feel about the same as stock... but then again I also changed the shocks to KYB AGX so I can always adjust to my liking.

twistedwedge

yeah mine rides almost identical to stock, if not better at times with the eibach pros and tockio blues..I was pleasantly surprised

If you had stock wheels, then i'd get H&R's, but you have bigger wheels so a lower drop would look better (eibach's)

ZEUS'O3TL

fixed...




EIBACH FTW!...

kidduce

iTrader: (1)

Just ordered my eibachs so lets go with that.

jjashaa

iTrader: (23)

haha.. jerk face...

im telling you.. its all biased...

fsttyms1 has H&R so he'll say H&R...

Zeus has eibach so he'll say eibach...

remikinz has H&R.. she'll say H&R...


etc etc etc etc...

if i were to choose springs again.. i'd go H&R... seems like they are a really good brand...

i'd say.. eibach and H&R ride similar than.. just eibach drops a little lower than H&R sports...

so basically its down to lower drop? or a subtle sporty drop.

I've got H&R's and they do the job well. Given the offset of those wheels you got, going with whichever is lower probably isn't the best idea. jjashaa is right, it's biased - I voted H&R.

If you plan on dropping, you might want to plan on getting new wheels in the near future before you eat up your tires/bend a fender/eat the paint on your fenders. Eventually you WILL rub with those wheels if you drop. 1 good bump or pot-hole and you're gonna mess something up with that offset

Mikey 03 TL Type S

thanks for the info guys. The fenders on the back as you can see has been cut. I will have occassional passengers in the back. Thats why my concern is the rubbing issue. Maybe I should change my tire sizes to 215/40 18 and that might eliminate that issue. At least I dont have to worry about this on my Trans Am......then again its very rare to have someone sitting in the back.....................

jjashaa

iTrader: (23)

whats the size of wheel?

and offset of course...

might want to look into some Koni or Bilsteins... or atleast some sort of aftermarket shocks..

compares h&r vs. eibach pro-kit. i suggest u read A non-biased sourced since its all based on testing.

H&r ftw!

Ground control coils FTW

No but serious note Eibach, H&R isnt low enough shit eibach isnt low enough for me thats why im getting coils Eibach rides better than stock

I have tanabe NF210's

They ride nice but i wanted a lower drop

I want H&R's

anybody want to trade?

Flipster23

iTrader: (15)

Tanabe hardly drops at all. You dont want H&R they hardly drop. I might be selling my eibachs in a couple of weeks if i get my coilovers

Silva-type-s

iTrader: (3)

trust me i know. im sitting on them now. i chose tanabe bcuz i didnt want to go too low and i wanted to keep my luxury ride i didnt want a stiff ride either. whats the spring rate of the eibachs? well its its legal im calling dibs now i know H&R drops you lower than Tanabe though.

How many miles you got em?

Silva-type-s

iTrader: (3)

so how many of you here are sitting on eibachs with no complaints. i bought these tanabes and tokico blues as a recommendation from excelerate (im not blaming him. he's a really cool dude) and how many are on H&R's with no comlpaints?

'03TL-S

iTrader: (10)

The only probable complaint would be that it may not be low enough for some, but the ride is comparable to factory. H&R's paired with a good set of struts (Koni Yellows) will be better than factory ride.

Silva-type-s

iTrader: (3)

ok what about H&R or eibachs and my tokico blues? ive been on these struts for less than 1000 miles.

Which will be a better drop and ride? or am i asking for too much? I dont want a stiff suspension since im in it for looks and an occasional opening up.

Flipster23

iTrader: (15)

My eibachs have about 15-20k on them. Im riding on stock struts.

I have only went about 1k with them on my car though.

Excellent ride I think

twistedwedge

eibachs and blues here...I love the drop and the ride quality. Shes still smooth as ever!

ZEUS'O3TL

imma say it again....Eibach on stock shocks FTW!!!...haha....my ride is good on stock shocks still but i know imma need some new ones asap...

fsttyms1

Why not get the H&R or Eibach and koni yellows (or koni neuspeed sp3)? They have a perch that will lower 20mm lower

Mikey 03 TL Type S

Sorry for the late reply

18/ 7.5 +35 offset

are stock shocks any good wih h&r springs??... im currently running kyb shocks.....will it ride higher...same...feel smoother ..rougher??

Geo I

i got eibach n kyb struts and shocks... feels great looks even better

twistedwedge

...no...better....yes...no

JterrorC

iTrader: (1)

thanks....so insted of replacing the kyb shocks with new kyb...jus get stockies?

ZEUS'O3TL

....

fsttyms1

Why waste the money on stocks? They KYBs are stock replacements. Stocks arent better. If your going to spend money on new shocks get at least the Blues.

twistedwedge

I thought you were going to stick with the KYBs and get some springs? Im with Zeus on this one..lol
