As for H&R VS Eibach, depends on what you are trying to achieve. If your looking for a mild drop, but mantain new oem ride quality, go with the Eibach. If your looking for a more agressive stance, and a noticable difference in cornering, get the H&R. If budget allows, just get coilovers.

Only shitty thing about the coilovers is that they DO NOT work well with after market wheels such as a 22" staggered setup. MANY MANY people have tried, but failed.

Because the perch of the coilover is wide than the stock setup, so when you put the taller wheels and wider tires they dont mount. Guy on another forum with a 650, 22" gfg trentos had to go back to eibach because his kw3 setup wouldnt work.Guy on this board, white 6, red guts, coupe couldnt put his asantis on because they were hitting his coilovers! He had to downsize to 19/20s I believe.

My Ride: 2004 645cic, 20" asanti wheel with KW Coilover Variant 3
so far i have KW V3 on for 3 month. still trying to adjust the right damping! i try med, very soft and now i have it very hard! but i think is too hard for everyday driving. do any one know what are the best level and how do you adjust it? cause i have my tier shop adjusting for me, but i want to try to do that myself but not sure how? i think the front and the back is different!
