Default H&R or Eibach Pro Kit

hey, just got an 08 IS250 and been wanting to drop it. Still debating between h&r and eibach pro kit because they are the lowest springs out there for the IS. Which spring is better overall?

They are both really good quality springs. I would be more concerned with the amount of drop each one offers. The best drops I have seen on springs are with H&R springs. Do you plan on getting aftermarket wheels/tires in the future? Or just keeping the stock wheels on?

^Road Magnets are actually about a 2" drop compared to H&Rs which is about a 1.4".

I am running H&R's with a F sport rear sway with stock shocks and it is one of the best mods for the vehicle with the exception of adjustable C/O's.

Thanks Ya can't go wrong with the H&R. The drop and comfort is just right for a daily driver.

I have H&R Sport Springs and it goes noticeably low while still keeping the car driveable. Eibach Springs are more conservative from what I seen and is not as noticeable of a drop; it is a slight drop.
