    Eibach makes legit stuff. I think either kit would be fine.

    I have never owned an Eibach System.

    I am sure someone here has.

    What are you trying to achieve with your suspension?

    I have the H&R race kit on my car which I really love. I had driven a friends car with the same set up. I thought about coilovers at the same time. I went with the cup kit for a lot of reasons.

    My car is not a track car so I never really saw the need to go all out (like friends with KW's, Ground Control or Tein w/edfc). I wanted a drop with a smooth as ride as I can get. I let the engineers do what they do best (match spring with shocks). I was never going to be doing adjustments to height of my car so no real need for adjustability.

    My car is my DD so need to go all out. I added camber plates to get the alignment dialed in to the cup kit. I read a whole lot of opinions out there about what direction to go. I read some people hated some set ups but when I drove them it was not what I had read.

    If you want to adjust the height of your car then coilovers. If you want a mild drop then go with a package. I do like dampening on Coilovers a whole lot to change it up for different driving styles.

    Eibach has been in the game for a long time, I have had Eibach springs on different cars and have always loved their set ups.

    Thanks GSEN820,

    I'm looking for something that will hug the curves and stay as flat as possable but also give me a compfortable ride do to the fact that this is my DD for now.

    Its a fact that my susspension needs replaced. Although it is not a track car per say....I do want to in the near future do autocross with it. I want to have a compfortable ride and know that if i want to hug the corners and have some fun with it that it will do just that.

    I also want to lower my car. I don't really necessarly need to be able to adjust ride height.

    I have the H and R Sport cup kit. Drops the front 3/4 inch, and rear 1/4. Closed the gap without punishing me. It can be found for a good price. Thats all i know.
