You really cannot go wrong with either kit. We tend to sell more of the H&Rs but for no particular reason.

+1 Eibach Pro Springs... I'm getting close to stock comfort with them.

H&R's tend to be more popular with the BMW owners, but I think they are both great kits.

I will tell you this though, we just dropped a customer's E60 525i on Eibach's and the ride was VERY close to stock feel if not the same. H&R's also make a great kit, but I think the Eibach's might have a little bit more "plushiness".

So I think my verdict is this: If you want 100% comfort, go with the Eibach's, and if you want something a little bit "sportier" that drops the car while stiffening the suspension up a little bit, go with the H&R's. Both companies make great products, so you already narrowed it down to picking a great set of springs.

As others have mentioned, you can't go wrong with either one but the Eibach will have a more comfortable ride (softer). The H&R springs are a little more focused on performance so the ride will be a little more sporty. Both are pretty well known with the H&R being the more popular one with the BMW crowd. We carry both on our sites so let us know if you would like a quote.
