If you don't want the ride to be too bumpy, get the eibach. If you want a more aggressive drop, get the H&R. I've had both brands and that's what I experienced.

Both cars that i dropped had the eibach prokit. Both still had a really good ride, and looked great IMO....however, i never wanted the cars slammed, so a big drop was not what i was looking for. If i drop the 335 i will def go with eibach.

I voted for Eibach Pro. If you're going for looks only, then H&R Sports or Eibach Sportsline, or even H&R Race would look better cosmetically. You'll pay for it in ride comfort though, and anything beyond Eibach Pros, you'll probably also have to replace the stock shocks.

Eibach Pros are a good blend of looks and comfort.

Coilovers! Sorry, just had to do it! I would say... not eibach. I had a set of those and they blew my shocks within 10k miles.

H&R would be my choice if I was to get it now.

I've had Eibach Pro-kit in my first car, and the drop was VERY subtle. If your looking for a slightly more of a drop, I would go with H&R. I H&R in my last car, and the drop was just perfect. I would go with, without a question, H&R again, but I'm getting KWs!

H&R Sport gets my vote, it's the best option for a more aggressive ride and stance without being too harsh for daily use.
