The Eibach Pro Kits give nice ride, close to stock. My problem is that the wheel gap isn't the same. I want to know how people rate the coilovers. Anyone felt the difference between Eiback pro kits and H&R sports. The drop seems lower for the H&R's. Closest package I have found to answer my problem, uneven gaps.

I am on the H&R sports, and i can't comment on the prokits, since i never had them. I have heard many complaints of uneven wheel gap, hence why i chose the H&R's. The ride is excellent, no bounce, about 30 percent stiffer ride than stock, but not very noticable, really. Handles very well, and i'm on stock struts too. Very pleased with the springs. The final drop for me was about 2" in the front, and about 1.6 -1.75 in the rear. The rear never goes below the fronts even with a full tank of gas,and my heavy ass sub in the back. You will need an ingalls front camber kit with theese springs, and the 15 dolla mod for camber correction in the rear will work too, but i needed to add more washers to get it right.
