H&R I think offer the best ride for lower springs. The biggest issue I have with them is the lower seems too modest in the front to the point it doesn't really look lowered. I have about a 3 finger gap. I'd say the best route is to save for coilovers.

Coilovers are hands down the best you can get lol I got H&R and would agree looks like a lot of weight in the back but o well amazing ride quality like riding on glass

I have had Eibach with tokico blues, Tien H-techs with Illuminas, and currently have Tien S-techs with Illuminas.

H-techs are way to soft, very bouncy, and the drop is not much different than Eibach.

Eibach are nice ride and I project could be better with a nice set of adjustable struts, but the drop is not that low. The front will sit higher than the back, or at least it looks that way.

S-techs are a nice ride and the drop is awesome, I have my Illuminas set on 3f/4r. Handling is good but I can't tell you exactly because I did a bunch of suspension mods at once. I will say these spring ride nice but they are harsh on your axles, I have to replace one now.

I agree with the coilovers, if you got the money get them. I have heard a lot of good things about H&R too. I got my S-techs from a org member for $100 and spent $500 on the Illuminas brand new. If you were to buy everything new it would almost be as much as some coilovers (especially a nice used set), and with coilovers you can change the ride height whenever you want.

anyone tried eibachs? and is it rough riding low? i heard altering the suspension can really mess up alot of things.. can anyone inform me?

djfrestyl

iTrader: (89)

Very stiff. Terrible ride. Likely to break. Yes, break.

Check my suspension thread. All the info you need.

DjHackStyle

I had the eibachs for about a year now. I put them on my stock struts and at the beginning it was fine i really enjoyed it and now i feel it to be very rough, maybe cause my stock shocks are now dead who knows. I like a rougher ride but i feel like the ride quality has really diminished. Feels horrible now lolz, every bump sounds like car is breaking.

Just dont ever do S-Techs neva eva eva!

TravisCadello

I been searching n searching can't make my mind up i know i want a stiff solid ride that can hug a corner firmly and i think eibach is one I'm looking for but if the front sits higher then rear jus like my stock springs I'm good i want a even drop...any advise?

djfrestyl

iTrader: (89)

Don't get Eibach.

H&R.

TravisCadello

From reading H&R are softer rate? or jus smoother. will H&R be any better then stock SE springs?

djfrestyl

iTrader: (89)

Softer, smoother, more comfortable, more reliable, more even drop, better handling, list goes on....

'Better' than SE springs is relative based on preference.

TravisCadello

Well i don't want a Spring that's just as soft as Stocks that's the whole point in upgrading is to have a Firmer better handling ride.

TravisCadello

I don't mind the bumpyness at all but on a nice smooth track id like best handing.

djfrestyl

iTrader: (89)

H&r.

TravisCadello

Well from what i keep Reading guess I'm placein a order today. Thanks!

Go modest with H-Techs, I am very happy with mine. Sporty, good height without getting obnoxiously low. And you can get them for under $200

H&R's are a nice set of springs. Gives you good ride quality with better handling over stock. I've used them on my 4th & 5th gens & have been pretty happy with them.

jenokh7

I have Vogtland (1.5" drop front and back) paired with KYB Excel-G.

I don't like the ride at ALL. Maybe its because I live/commute around the Chicago area, where there are lotsa potholes.

But if I could do it over again, I'd get Illuminas. The OE struts just arent very comfortable.

TravisCadello

I'm leaning more towards eibach cause H&R's eneven ride height.

Finchum

^ i took a half coil off of the front of my H&R's and the drop is almost even now.

Didn't notice too much difference in the ride other than a slightly 'firmer' feel. Got a definite firmer than stock (SE) feel now and hugs corners nicely. The new suspension bits(LCA/endlinks/tierodends) up front helped with that as well

djfrestyl

I don't understand how many times I have to keep repeating NOT to get Eibachs.

Dont forget S-techs are a Big No No also

djfrestyl

iTrader: (89)

Indeed!

Crusher103

iTrader: (10)

^yup.

DjHackStyle

Is it ok to cut a coil off of aftermarket spring?

cjandura

iTrader: (3)

No!

TallTom

It's only acceptable if you have the work "hack" in your username. Otherwise, it is a major no-no.

Crusher103

iTrader: (10)

yes.
