I believe they are both made by the same brand so they are the same quality. Just pick which drop height you would like the best.
I pesonaly went with the H&R and love them.

How many of you had to get a bumpsteer or cc plates with the Eibachs? I remember Lance saying that he doesnt need neither one with the H&R's.

No I did'nt need anything but the H&R sport's.Still rides great and no tire wear.I would change the shock's and strut's if it was high mileage though.

I put a set of the Eibach sportlines on a '03 GT and it was a big drop, alot more then the pro-kit! It's a smooth ride, and handles great, No un normal tire wear either. This car sits lower than steeda and roush springs.

but my brother said that you need a camber kit or your tires will wear in a weard way cause the angle that they are at. Some1 that lives in my town lowered his eclipse and he needed new tires 2 weeks later casue he never heard of a camber kit before and he only dropped it 1.5 inches...so??

If you go lower than say 1.6 yes you will need them.The H&R sport's don't go that low.
