Default Those with H&R springs

Hey guys, im looking even deeper into lowering my car, and Ive come across the H&R's compared to the steeda sports I was planning on. Now, I want to see pictures of everyones cars with the H&R springs on it, and I wanna know what level springs they are, what shock/strut package, and if you needed c/c plates to get it aligned. Also where you got em from, how the install was, and how much better the ride is/isnt how the handling is and so on. Thanks.
Matt

From what I can recall H&R and Eibach are the same, correction or are German companies.

H&R and Eibach are not the same. 2 different spring companies.
H&R is a little better quality.

H&R will give you more of a drop then the eibach pro kit. Also the ride will be kind of harsh with stock shock/struts. And be ready to scrape on everything with those springs.

I've never heard H&R to sag. It's also one of the best spring companies out there from everyone's experience.

AHH, so confused on what to do. At first I was pretty decided on steeda sports, but then I see the nice lookin H&R's. Ah, I just wanna be lower and make the car ride on rails. Which would be better. Im gettin new shocks (Tokico HP's) so the ride wont be so bad.

Steeda sports are the same exact damn thing at Ford C-springs. I've purchased both and rode on both and have boh still installed on both of our cars.... the c-springs win my vote because they are way cheaper.

H&R's, simply the best. Nuff said.

I'm going with the Eibach Sportline myself, My gap is just that wide, and it will give me about a 2" drop. I will have to take it super easy going up and down driveways. The side exhaust is already low.

Well, bad news for the H&R lovers, my sport springs have been on backorder for about 2 months now, so im not gettin those. I just had the guy switch the order to Steeda sports, the springs I was originally going to get, so I think Ill like em anyways. Anyways, thanks for the help.

Yes, thats where I ordered them from and he told me they were backordered, so I told him to just switch it to the Steedas. Ill still be happy, as the steeda sports are what I originally wanted and will still look great.
