Eibach VS H&R

riceviking · #1 02-15-2002, 11:05 AM

Hi Guys!
Suspension is up, due mars. I've got offers on H&R and Eibach and want to know what ya'll think is best, if you got any experiences with them etc. Also, hopefully, Yellow Konis are going on sometime as well, will both these springs work fine with them? Lowering 35 or 40mm...

If you are going to put on Koni's later, I would prefer the eibach ones. They are mostly used in combination with Koni's. But either way, both Eibach and H&R are very good brands. You won't have troubles with any of them.

I've heard that Porsche is using H&R on their GT2 and 3 models, that should be a quality sign!

I can get the H&R slightly cheaper then the Eibach ones, so if they're about the same quality, and none of them gets softer I think I'll be going for the H&R ones. Eibach though has ALOT of street cred in the US though. But if ya'll agree I'll be going with H&R

...eherm...about 155-160 dollars...about the same in Euros I think (aren't they much the same in currency (?) ).

I´ve had H&R springs (with Koni yellows) on my old 4th gen Prelude and on my new 5th gen Prelude I´m using Eibach springs (also with Koni yellows) and I can´t even say which I like better. I´d say the quality and stuff like that will be the same so you can´t go wrong with your decision! Just choose by which brand you like better or by which are cheaper.

Thanx! Hopefully I'll afford them next payday!

BTW, Predator, read your signature...this law: it's active in Norway..use your fogs, pay your ticket...

I've got the Eibach pro-kit installed on my accord, with stock dampers. I would really advice them, they are real good. Because of the ride quality is so good, if I had the choice again I would maybe have bought the lower version of eibach (don't know the name eibach sport???).
It's said that they won't drop lower than after first install, but mine has dropped some more in the past few weeks. (got them about 4 to 5 months now)
I've got no experience with H&R.

I think all springs will drop a bit after install, rather natural considering the weight they're under (without in no way indicating that you're fat

), even stock ones. Heard lots of good things about Eibach, and about H&R to. So I think I'll leave it to the two shops to outbid eachother for my buy!

I wanna lower it 35mm I think, im not quite sure wether I'll go for 16's or 17's yet, but lowering it more will outrule the 17's without rolling the arches...

hmmm...two seconds of thinking brought me to the conclusion that a fat joke from Norway may sound different in Netherland. Hopefully people understood that is was only a bad joke, but to avoid hurting anyone I thought I'd just ensure you It was nothing but a bad joke :flash:

What are you talking about?

I don´t think you´ve said anything mean!

If you got the correct ET value of the rims, you shouldn't worry about rolling the fenders. BTW: you can drop up to 5-6cm (can be little variations on this, depends on the brand), this way your wheel gap will be almost completely gone.

It wasn't a bad joke! I had to laugh about it. And don't be 'scared' to post jokes here, why should you mean it in the 'bad' way? Most of us like humor I think.

Great! I'm very "bigmouthed" by nature! Never mean anything bad by it anyway. It's so much easier when people don't take things the wrong way, humor is a necessity!

Hopefully everyone feels the same way as Accord and me!

I think you misunderstood me, I don't like people with a big mouth!!
