Hello everyone, I would appreciate any pictures of your cars with H&R springs and eibach Springs so that I can compare the look. Or is the difference in height so nominal that they both look the same? As you can sum up I am trying to decide which of the two to purchase.

Thanks

IN my own opinion i tried both product and i've always been happy with eibach more than the H and R. So i would buy eibach springs if i want to lower my car, but the sports package is good enough for this car.

what do you guys prefer, as far as ride quality, i'm not too concern with how lower it is, they both will lower the car, which rides better?

ok your car is definetly sick... love the high polished aluminum wheels...

i have been debating really hard wether Hr race or sport.. and after seing your pics im going race... i have always had h&r my other car has h&r race but its an integra and totali diff suspension than bmw... on my previous car b4 the e60 audi a4 i went with h&r race also... no sure why i second guess this decision so much but you have plenty of pics that show no gap at all inbetween i will also be on 20"s and thats the look i like. besides every car ive owned has been slammed so im used to driving low and know what it takes not to crack bumpers ect ect ect... but with h&r race i goooooo im ondering them on ebay right now.

I have Eibach pro kit. Been told that H&R sports are firmer. I'm very happy with the Eibach as its firm yet soft enough for day to day cruisin. Pics in my sig..

here's mine with the eibach pro-kit: http://forums.e60.net/index.php?showtopic=...mp;#entry430554
more than happy with them. it has been said that the eibachs are the closest ride to stock. the ride is still of oem quality with more road feel, so it is "sportier".

the difference in height between the eibach pro-kit and H&R sports are very little. im not sure which e60 you have, and im not sure if you were referring to just the pro-kit and the H&R sports. well for a 525/530, eibach pro-kit: 1.2" drop all around, H&R sports: F-1.4" drop R-1.3" drop. for a 545/550, eibach pro-kit: 1.2" drop all around, H&R sports: F-1.3" drop R-1.2" drop. there's always coilovers too. H&R race springs would give you a 2" drop all around. eibach sportline would be a 2" drop in the front, 1.2" in the rear for 525/530 and .2" for 545/550.

H&R Sport on 20's


H&R Race on 20's


Eibach Sportline on 20's


If you want a modest drop with either H&R sport or Eibach Pro kit.

I honestly like Snik21 or the silver tit. e60 above's drop. If I didnt have a kid I would have gone with that.
