Okay, I have had experience with both companies progressive rate springs.

first off I had Neuspeeed sport springs on my '94 civic ex coupe about 6 years ago and now I have Eibachs pro kit on my protege5. They are both similar in ride quality with the Neuspeed(H&R) springs just a bit more stiffer. But then again the civic had 17 inch wheels and 205/40/17 tires. still have the OEM wheels on my protege5.

Damn, now that I think of it. wheel and tire prices have come down tremendously since then. I paid $2300 for 16 inch chrome anteras wrapped in toyos and $2500 for 17 inch fittipaldi lagunas wrapped in toyo t1s. Now you can 17's with tires for less then $800. ****. and those were some heavy *** wheels. O'well both sets of wheels been stolen a long time ago anyhow. the anteras only lasted 2 weeks.

Hi!
I've heard that eibach springs sag pretty fast,usually within the first year of usage.And also that the spring rate is not constant.Some springs come out with a difference of +-30lbs away from the specs spring rate.
H&R on the otyher hand,may be a little more expensive,but they are a real good deal.They have good endurance,and the spring rate is constant.
That's what I've heard from a good speed shop around here...if you have other info for me don't hesitate,since I dint buy my springs yet!
Hope it helps!

That sounds backwards. From what I've heard, H&R may sag sooner. Eibach is considered a better brand than H&R although H&R isnt considered a bad brand. And price wise, Eibach is higher.

what does eibach use prettier colors in their ads or what?

maybe their 401(k) plan is better for their employees.
