Eibach Pro Kit vs H&R vs. Tein

Hello all:

I just got my new '06 last night, and am looking to lower it as soon as possibile... I am agonizing over which springs I will use:

I want to have a 1" to 1.5" drop and still retain the closest possible ride quality to stock... the only reason I am wanting to drop it is for looks purposes.

I don't care about performance, as I am quite happy with the stock setup.

Which of the 3 brands: Eibach Pro-Kit, H&R Sport or Tein H-Tech do you guys suggest I go with in order to best retain the comfort of the stock setup?

Thanks very much in advance!

I got the Tein's, the drop was about 1.3" fr and rr and ride change was minimal but slightly stiffer. The progressive springing really helps here.
I also put the stiffer rr bar on and it just enhances the ride even more.

I have the H&R Sport springs. Recommend a camber kit (SPC), because it had serious negative camber and no way to adjust. The kit is about 60 bucks. The only gripe i have with them is that their is a slight thump from the rear if I go over an agressive surface change( serious pot holegget a thump; speed bumps, rail road tracks or slight bumps are not a problem).Other than that it rides slightly stiffer than stock and you can use the stock struts.

I've been on the fence and would really like a small drop but the whole having to get the camber kit and get it all installed has always stopped me. The teins seem to be the favorite on the forum. I'd like the whole a-spec deal but I can't afford that much money.

So how do you like those Tein basics? How did it change the ride?
