Are the H&R Sport Spring Set or the Eibach Pro-Kit Spring Set better?? How much do these usually go for?

both are good quality springs. i believe the H&R drops ur car a little bit lower. they go for about $250. (20% deviation)

H&R is stiffer than Eibach.

I say, if warranty isn't a concern, go with the H&R's and pick up some nice shocks from gs4will !. Figured Eibach & L-Tuned drop almost the same, might as well go for L-tuned.

Default H&R Springs

i'm selling my H&R Springs for $160 shipped to your door.

I've only had them on the car for 1,500 miles (i never drivein winter or in any bad weather).

they drop the car really nice and the ride is quite good and I have 19s!!

i'm only selling them b/c I now have coilovers (Tein).

If you're interested, the H&R are essentially "brand new" and you can't beat the price. You'll save about $140 on them w/ my offer.

Let me know if you are interested.

e-mail me:

ted920@hotmail.com


peace.

ted

I would say L-Tuned is very cool.

And I didn't get them for the warranty in the first place.

I would rather spend the money to get a new set of springs/shocks than have the dealers rip me off with installation in the first place.
