over all the cost is around 400 bucks i am just saying over all which one is a good choice

never ran anything but eibachs with tokico illuminas (sp?). The ride is sporty, hard on bad streets with TEMS fully hard and soft and smooth with it on normal when cruising down the highway.

You rims and tires will have an affect on this as well, not just the springs (along with condition of the rest of the suspension, tighten those sub frame bolts!!)

hmmm well i am running stock 92 rims 225/50/16 so i think its gona be perfect to go with those i guess right ???
danm i just saw your car pics i couldnt find the size of your rims are they 18's cuz they look nice like they way its sitting low

i actually have the H&R springs and they are excellent, they are not too low and it handles perfect i would recommend the H&R springs rather than the eibach even though the eibach are cheaper

so i checked the site and i compared the inch's eibachs are actually higher than the eibachs r-sr's are the highest..

r-sr's are but i would recommend the h&R and you might as well do the tokico illuminas so it will drive nice rather than doing it all later my opinion

ok well i think i am going to go with the H&R's unless other wise but i am going to try them with my stock shocks they are new i'd like to see how they work together

oh if shocks are new you should be fine then. They are very good springs.

hmmm interesting right now i have 2 people telling me to buy eibachs and 2 H&R this is getting hard lmao i thought it would be easy to figure out hahhah

im running hr&rs with tokico blues right now. Im trying to switch over to eibachs because the front end of my car is a bit too low after the swap. It was low already when i was NA. Im not sure if the front springs have already sagged or not. I dont know how to tell. But they seem a bit low compared to otheres on the forums running them.

+1 on the h&r's. i used to have them on my old 88 but on my 89 now i have eibachs with hieght adj bilstiens. much rather have the h&r's with the bilsteins. the eibachs feel too floaty for me and the h&r's are stiffer and handle better.

when you say floaty wat do you mean like it doesnt handle as well or rebounds high??

H&R would give a more sporty ride and lower it a bit more which is a part of that. But they do have a stiffer ride than the eibachs. The ONLY thing to do in my opinion is go look at some pictures. Search H&R and search the eibachs and see how much they lower. Depends what rims you're going to go with and if you're going to drive it in winter and things like that too.

 

[Needboost]

i have H&Rs and they are great they arent to stiff and i love the aggressive look it gives it plus its more of a drop than ebiachs. i have some pics of mine on my profile
