I was really pleased with the ride on H&R's, looked slightly lower than cars on Eibachs which is what I wanted.

Not crashy, and only felt a little firm on really bumpy roads  :happy2:

Looking forward to Rich's review tomorrow  :wink:

Just realised I've recommended H&R's on every lowering spring related thread  :scared:

I cant decide between the H&Rs or the eibach :( haha
I had gaz coilovers on my old car but you felt every bump and crack in the road, liked how low they went though so i cant decide what i want.

Thanks for the help though everyone! Appreciate it!

I doubt you'll be disappointed with either, I'm probably preferring the Eibach's because they're paired up with a much better damper.

I've got Eibach Sportlines on mine, chose them over the H&R as I feared that the H&R might be a tad too low for my liking. I like the drop and it is low enough for me yet practical. When I first had them fitted the ride quality didn't feel different at all... it was only after a couple weeks that I started to feel the lumps and bumps in the road. :scared: :grin: But to be honest the overall ride is still ok and easy to live with. :happy2:
